Question

Is it possible to get rid of the status bar in iOS7 when using Phonegap Build 3.1? I can remove the status bar when building locally in Xcode, but as soon as I try Phonegap Buil

Answer 1

With Cordova, I had to do actually 2 things.

1. When I build with XCode I set in Target->Statusbar style to -> HIDDEN this would hide statusbar at startup on your splash screen.

2. You have to hide it also on device ready with plugin. Otherwise, it will reappear. To do that, install plugin:

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.statusbar

and call this on deviceready:

StatusBar.hide();
