preferredStatusBarStyle not called in main view controller

[kirand777]

I think, childViewControllerForStatusBarStyle and childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden should be redefined so status bar can be changed in main view controller.

As you can subclass PBRevealViewController you can override these properties by yourself.

For example, assume your main view controller is a UINavigationController subclass, and you want to hide the status bar:

class RevealViewController: PBRevealViewController, PBRevealViewControllerDelegate {

    override var childForStatusBarHidden: UIViewController? {
        guard let mainViewController = self.mainViewController as? UINavigationController else {return nil}
        return mainViewController.topViewController
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()
    }
}

And in your main view controller, the top view controller, override:

    override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
        return true
    }

You have to set the "View controller-based status bar appearance" key to YES in your Info.plist too.
