You can try writing this in your ViewWillappear or DidAppear. Here we are shifting the view frame 20 pixels down.

CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
frame.origin.y = 20;

if (self.view.frame.size.height == 1024 || 
    self.view.frame.size.height == 768)
{
    frame.size.height -= 20;
}

self.view.frame = frame;

This will work, but however this is not a very good idea. You can also change the text colour of the status bar to light or dark depending on your app background by calling the following method if it helps.

-(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle
{
     return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent; // For light status bar

     return UIStatusBarStyleDefault // For Dark status bar
}
