When Dark Mode is enabled at the OS level it is obviously having affects on the colors in my controls. How do I prevent this default behaving without having to explicitly set colors on all my controls? Is there a simple way in AppDelegate..application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: to prevent this now default behavior in iOS 13?

Opt Out of Dark Mode Entirely

The system automatically opts in any app linked against the iOS 13.0 or later SDK to both light and dark appearances. If you need extra time to work on your app's Dark Mode support, you can temporarily opt out by including the

UIUserInterfaceStyle

key (with a value of

Light

) in your app’s

Info.plist

file. Setting this key to

Light

causes the system to ignore the user's preference and always apply a light appearance to your app.

What about for the Notification Content Extension? I set it to "Light" in the extension Info.plist to no avail. I've also tried setting `overrideUserInterfaceStyle` to `.light` which had no impact.
