I had a similar issue some months ago - I solved it by adding the following lines into my AppDelegate. Please find below my swift code, I'm sure you know the objective-c syntax:

    // Setup general NavBar appearance
    UINavigationBar.appearance().setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
    UINavigationBar.appearance().shadowImage = UIImage()
    UINavigationBar.appearance().backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0.0, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 0.0)
    UINavigationBar.appearance().isTranslucent = true
    UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.white
    UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent // => this would be the solution

I think the last line of code would be interesting for you. It's important to set this changes in your AppDelegate.
