title: Getting current iOS 7 statusbar style
body: <p>Good time of day everyone!
  iOS 7 welcomed us with many not-so-funny and not-so-documented 'features', especially in terms of appearance cusomization. My issue is the following:</p>
  
  <p>I set 'View controller-based status bar appearance' to YES in my application plist, how do I now get current statusbar style programmatic?
  Old code like</p>
  
  <pre><code>[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarStyle
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>always returns UIStatusBarStyleDefault disregard the style from viewcontroller.</p>
  
  <p>To prevent future misunderstanding: I have NO intention to make statusBarStyle property working, I'm looking for new way with 'View controller-based status bar appearance' turned on. PLEASE, obstinate from 'advices' to turn it off.</p>
