Globally set Status Bar Style in iOS 7 with RubyMotion

It is quite simple but it took me a few minutes to figure out. This is how you globally set your Status Bar style with RubyMotion:

First, in your Rakefile, within of your App.setup block:

app.info_plist['UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance'] = false

Then, in your app_delegate.rb:

class AppDelegate
  def application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions)
    application.setStatusBarStyle(UIStatusBarStyleLightContent)
    true
  end
end

The style options you have are:

1. UIStatusBarStyleDefault
2. UIStatusBarStyleLightContent

All others were deprecated in iOS 7.0
