In case anyone looks at this post (I did today and so others might). I am a newbie to objective c but and you may laugh at my suggestion but here goes.

When running my iPad app the status bar was always overlapping my form. I wasn't happy to use the method for changing the frame coordinate down 20px so went searching.

Found that if I was to assign my custom view controller to the window rootViewController then the status bar overlap problem went away. I haven't tried the modal stuff in this post but hope this helps other newbies who may be wondering how to sole this problem.

This is what a simple AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method would look like:

(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    TEGGameViewController *gameVC = [[TEGGameViewController alloc] init];

    self.window.rootViewController = gameVC;

    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}
