In your Info.plist file add key View controller-based status bar appearance with value NO. And, add key Status bar is initially hidden with value YES.

Answer 3

//viewDidload
if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]) {
// iOS 7
[self prefersStatusBarHidden];
[self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
} else {
// iOS 6
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
}


// Add this Method
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden

return YES;
}

Please add this to your view controller

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}

Answer 5

in your "*project_name*-Info.plist" file, add a key named "Status bar is initially hidden" and then set the value to "YES". that will always hide the status bar.

Open your application Info.plist file and add the following lines:

<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
