StatusBar tintColor problems

[txaiwieser]

We just implemented the instabug framework in our App. But we are experiencing a lot of bugs related to the StatusBar color, we made a lot of tests and its definitely Instabug's fault.

We use a ViewController based StatusBar configuration, and most view controllers have a white StatusBar. And even without accessing the instabug button, the status bar turn black in some app VCS.

One small case is when we present in a VC (white statusbar) a SFViewController (black statusbar) it changes to black (as it should) and when we dismiss the SFViewController it should change back to white. Bug with Instabug enabled it doesnt change back in some times. When it does changes it appears to be fake and without animations.

I love instabug, but with this bug its very unlikely we can push to our betas :/

Thanks! 👍

@txaiwieser
Let me check and get back to you.

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser
I succeeded on reproduce the bug and we are working on it.
I would like to ask If you are using floating button or not.

[txaiwieser]

@Kmohamed Yes, we are using the floating button. But this issue happens even when the button wasn't pressed.

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser
Sorry for inconvenience.
Here is a custom build with a fix. and we are going to release the fix soon.

[txaiwieser]

Thanks you for the quick fix! Gladly appreciated!

😄👍

[Kmohamed]

Anytime :)

[txaiwieser]

This bug has returned!
Now it happens every time I "peak and pop" in a cell, for example

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser Could you send me screenshot with the bug ?

[txaiwieser]

The status bar just changes to black after you "peak and pop" in any cell that supports it. (the app I work has white status bar)

[Kmohamed]

I will check it and get back to you as soon as possible

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser I implement Peek and pop in a project using Instabug SDK but it does not change status bar color.
Could you confirm the SDK version runs on that device is greater than 7.0

[txaiwieser]

Yes, I using the latest version through Carthage. And the App uses UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance.

[Kmohamed]

My demo also uses UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance
Could you send to me a sample app with the bug ?

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser I would like to ask If you have enough time to send to us a sample project with peek and pop bug.

[txaiwieser]

I did the sample project and it turns out the problem happens only when linking with Carthage (with the new method described in the readme).

binary "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Instabug/Instabug-iOS/master/Carthage.json"

It's not linked with the latest version 7.1 (with has this problem solved)

Sorry for the trouble, can we have this son pointing to the latest version?

Thanks!

[HeshamMegid]

@txaiwieser that's weird. Both CocoaPods and Carthage and currently updated to the latest version. Would you please confirm that the build number of the SDK you get is 7311?

[txaiwieser]

It seems to be solved in the last version.

[txaiwieser]

This is still happening on iOS 9.3

Why do you have to swizzle everything? :/

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser could please clarify which problem is still happening on iOS 9.3 ?

[txaiwieser]

• New Xcode project
• Change ViewController status bar style

 override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .lightContent
}

• Add Instabug with dark style

Status bar does not change to light on iOS 9.3

[Kmohamed]

I just tried your steps but did not succeed to reproduce the issue. The status bar style is light before invoking Instabug and after dismissing Instabug.
are you sure it is not and old version of sdk that has the issue ?

[txaiwieser]

I'm using 7.3.7.
Did you have related fixes on yesterday's version?

[Kmohamed]

No, but I can send you my sample project to see if I making something wrong or you can send me a sample project if you have.

[txaiwieser]

Sure, I added one line to AppDelegate from the Xcode template. And setting the VC to use .lightContent

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser Thanks a lot I will look in it and get back to you soon.

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser I would like to share with you something very interesting that If you create the same project from Xcode 8 and run it on iOS 9.3 it will work fine.
could you confirm this point please ?

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser also could you confirm that it's not simulator bug "Xcode 9 GM - iOS 9.3 simulator" ?

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser could you confirm please this strange behaviour ?

[txaiwieser]

@Kmohamed Unfortunately I couldn’t get an iOS 9 device yet, but the problem persist on the simulator

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser I am very sorry for being late. But it takes a lot of time to find a work around on iOS9
could you give this custom build a try and tell if it works fine.
pod ‘Instabug’, :git => ’https://github.com/Instabug/Instabug-iOS.git', :branch => ‘fix/StatusBarColor_iOS9’

[Kmohamed]

@txaiwieser I will close the issue now but also feel free to open it again if it shows up again.

[txaiwieser]

Unfortunately this is not perfect yet.

• At first it seemed fixed, but after entering a SafariViewController or even on Instabug (via button), (any vc that changes the statusBar to black). After I go back to the app the bar stays black and doesn't change to white again.

[txaiwieser]

Up

[Kmohamed]

I am very sorry for being late we are still working on it and definitely will update you once it’s fixed.

[Kmohamed]
