ios - SwiftUI: Status bar color

Question

Is there a way to change the status bar to white for a SwiftUI view?

I'm probably missing something simple, but I can't seem to find a way to change the status bar to white in SwiftUI. So far I just see .statusBar(hidden: Bool).

As in the comments linked to I edited this question here

But to answer this question and help people find the answer directly:

Swift 5 and SwiftUI

For SwiftUI create a new swift file called HostingController.swift

import SwiftUI

class HostingController<ContentView>: UIHostingController<ContentView> where ContentView : View {
    override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
        return .lightContent
    }
}

Then change the following lines of code in the SceneDelegate.swift

window.rootViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: ContentView())

to

window.rootViewController = HostingController(rootView: ContentView())
