How to remove iOS status bar with Phonegap Build?

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

I've answered this for removing the Status bar altogether in your previous question

The essential part:

I got this to work beautifully in Cordova 3.6 + iOS 7.1. And considering that iOS 7 and 8 each have 50% of market share this solution should be enough.

Plugin I'm using: org.apache.cordova.statusbar

Instead of using StatusBar.hide() I used:

var hideSb = function(){
//        StatusBar.hide;
        cordova.exec(null, null, 'StatusBar', 'hide', ['Ehi', 'You']);
    };
