Why is the Status Bar STILL showing during Default.png?

Question

I\'m pretty sure that I\'ve taken all steps to correctly set my status bar to hidden. I did this in both the info.plist file (setting a UIStatusBarHidden to a boolean TRUE) as w

Answer 1

Did you figure this out already? What I did to get it to work is edit the Info.plist file in TextMate rather than in Xcode. I added the following two lines:

<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>

I think the only thing different from the answers given above is that I used a text editor rather than Xcode. When you subsequently look at Info.plist in Xcode, you will see a check mark next to UIStatusBarHidden rather than a string. There is probably a way to do this directly in Xcode, but I don't know what it is.

Answer 2

UIStatusBarHidden should be set to true.

Answer 3

I was seeing a similar problem on an iPod Touch 2G (3.1.3), where a black rectangle - same dimensions as the status bar - was showing above the default.png.

The solution to this problem involved making the default.png image 320x480 as opposed to its original 640x960. The exact solution was to make a default@2x.png using the larger dimensions.

Answer 4

I have seen this on Jailbroken devices using IOS 2.1 with an older version of Cydia. In that instance, once Cydia was updated, the info.plist + ...statusBarHidden = YES method worked.

Alternatively see if [application setStatusBarStyle: ...] helps.

Answer 5

in the info.plist there's also a key called "Status bar is initially hidden" that needs to be checked on. It will hide the status bar while loading the default.png

Answer 6

It's easier than that. At least in Xcode 4 you can simply add an entry "Status bar is initially hidden" to the plist and set its value to YES.
