UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent

UINavigationBar.appearance().clipsToBounds = true

let statusBar: UIView = UIApplication.shared.value(forKey: "statusBar") as! UIView

statusBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.orange

Try using this code in your appDelegate's method application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
