create replacement for carrier in status bar with date in swift

To replace carrier name in the status bar with date in swift you can use the UIApplication.shared object to access the status bar, then set the isStatusBarHidden value to false to show it.

After that, create a UILabel with the desired date string and add it as a subview to the status bar. Finally, adjust the position and size of the label to fit the status bar.

Here's a code snippet that you can use:


main.swift
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .lightContent
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Show the status bar
    UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = false

    // Create a label with the current date string
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
    let dateString = dateFormatter.string(from: Date())
    let label = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 100, height: 20))
    label.text = dateString
    label.textColor = .white

    // Add the label as a subview to the status bar
    if let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView {
        statusBar.addSubview(label)

        // Adjust the position and size of the label
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        label.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: statusBar.centerXAnchor).isActive = true
        label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: statusBar.topAnchor, constant: 2).isActive = true
        label.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 100).isActive = true
        label.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 20).isActive = true
    }
}

Note: This approach may not be approved by Apple for submission to the App Store, as it modifies the behavior of the status bar.
