So I just want my app to always run in dark mode. Even if the device appearance in in Light I still want the app to run in dark mode. Is this possible?
Yes, It's possible, You must Add "Appearance" key to "Dark" in Info.plist such as:
You can set UIUserInterfaceStyle to Dark in your Info.plist as explained in Is it possible to opt-out of dark mode on iOS 13?

Code written in both REACT NATIVE and objetive-C
kindly reply if any one have i idea what could be issue
This is the issue with iOS 15 where:
Launch screen in an initial scene to decide the global property like status bar what to be on next of screens if you don't have any setting inside the app
Step to resolve the issue
Set the status bar style to Dark Content in info.plist
Delete the existing Launch Screen and create a fresh Launch Screen with your requirement
Set the newly created Launch Screen into Launch Screen File inside general section
clean the app and build is ... issue has been resolved now either app is running on DARK MODE or LIGHT MODE
In my iOS/macOS app the user can choose between a light and a dark appearance.
This is done by setting the overrideUserInterfaceStyle of the app window, for example
window.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = .dark
It works fine on iOS/iPadOS.
On macOS (Catalyst) the app uses an NSToolbar, which always appears in the mode chosen in the system settings, regardless what ist set for the overrideUserInterfaceStyle of the window (see screenshot).
Since this is not a good visual impression, I would like to know how I can set light/dark mode for the NSToolbar too.
Add UIUserInterfaceStyle with a value Dark to your app’s Info.plist. That will force the whole app to dark mode on iOS 13+ and Mac Catalyst (you won’t need to set overrideUserInterfaceStyle).
Docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/uiuserinterfacestyle
This can be done by adding an macOS plugin which has access to the whole AppKit API. Instructions can be found here:
How to Access the AppKit API from Mac Catalyst Apps
Then you can set the desired appearance there at runtime, for example:
NSApplication.shared.appearance = NSAppearance(named: .darkAqua)
I am trying to disable Dark Mode support by setting UIUserInterfaceStyle key to Light in Info.plist file but now it's not available in Info.plist in Xcode 12.
Is it still possible to disable Dark Mode support from Info.plist file for iOS Apps in Xcode 12.
It still exists. Use Appearance key.
if you want to find UIUserInterfaceStyle, just right click to open menu, and check Raw Keys & Values, and you will be able to add UIUserInterfaceStyle.
Now You can use Appearance key in info.plist file to Avoid Dark Mode
I want to disable dark mode within my app for iOS 13. And I prefer not to do so via info.plist. The reason is, plist uses a global setting, making UIUserInterfaceStyle affects earlier iOS versions aswell (creating conflicts). I only want to set it to light for iOS 13! This is my current code within my AppDelegate:
if(#available(iOS 13, *)){
window.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = UIUserInterfaceStyleLight;
}
This code snippet works for fixing statusBar color to light. But general strings within the app are still in "dark mode". Earlier white strings turn into black, and my app is already pretty dark as it is. How do I fix so strings in the app does not change it's colors by themselves in dark mode? I want a global code snippet and not go through every ViewController...

iOS ignores Info.plist keys it doesn't know. So you can safely set UIUserInterfaceStyle to Light in your Info.plist, iOS prior to version 13 will ignore this key.
Fixed the problem by calling:
self.window.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = UIUserInterfaceStyleLight;
Is there any way to alter the colors/tint of an SKStoreKitReviewController? When I am modifying my apps to support DarkMode, when in dark mode, the presented viewController does not look good.
This issue was resolved in iOS 13.2. The blur effect is dark, just like other system alerts when Dark Mode is enabled.
