We're using UI Appearance customization to change the background of the standard navigation bar and use UIStatusBarStyleLightContent (=white text/icon color) with it.

SFSafariViewController itself renders fine with its custom navigation bar and UIStatusBarStyleDefault.

However, when using the share sheet to send an email or Message, the status bar style should be switched to UIStatusBarStyleLightContent to match the status bar color with the customized navigation bar. We can't find any hook to do so.

We propose to add these methods to SFSafariViewControllerDelegate:

- (void)safariViewController:(SFSafariViewController *)controller willDisplayViewController:(UIViewController*)viewController;
- (void)safariViewController:(SFSafariViewController *)controller willDismissViewController:(UIViewController*)viewController;

Then we could put our status bar style changing code there.

Seems to have been "resolved" in iOS 11 final by entirely removing support for UI Appearance customization. :(
