• in your tiapp.xml change this:

  <statusbar-style>default</statusbar-style>

  to this:

  <statusbar-style>opaque</statusbar-style>

  and you'll get the black statusbar. I can't believe how long it took me to find this. I hope it helps someone else. Appcelerator should really post this somewhere.

• Try this

  Titanium.UI.iPhone.setStatusBarStyle(Titanium.UI.iPhone.StatusBar.OPAQUE_BLACK);
  

  I'm not sure but you might need to set this for each window you have in your app.

• actually you do the right thing. But since the tiapp.xml is not copied into the build dir you can't see any effects. Delete the iPhone Build dir and recompile.

• Hello Daniel, i tried it before and, in fact, the statusBar changed to black and you not need to set this for each window, it's affect all windows.

  But the problem is on the inicialization because the splash screen has statusBar color = gray (default). After the splash screen is showed, this command (setStatusBarStyle) is called and the statusBar color's is changed.
  You can see the statusBar changing it's color from gray to black and it causes a "blink" effect.

  if someone knows how can i adjust it…

  Thanks for your support.
