Swift-iOS: Status Bar blinks one time after launch

Hi there,

in the general settings the checkbox "Hide status bar" is set.
So the status bar in the LaunchScreen is hidden.

The status bar in the ViewController is still visible.

I'm using the following code to hide the status bar in the ViewController.

Code Block 
override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {return true}

The issue is, that the status bar blinks one short time when changing the LaunchScreen to the ViewController.

I hope someone can help me.
