Swift 3.0 - how to hide status bar after calling UIImagePickerController?

Question

Happy New Year!

I want to hide status bar after calling UIImagePickerController on iOS 10.2. You know there are already several questions about it with some answers,

Answer 1

None of those answers worked for me on iOS 13. I had to set this flag on the presenting view controller before presenting the image picker:

viewController.modalPresentationCapturesStatusBarAppearance = YES; [viewController presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];

Answer 2

The status bar can be permanently hidden with the following extension to UIImagePickerController :

extension UIImagePickerController {
    open override var childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden: UIViewController? {
        return nil
    }

    open override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
        return true
    }
}

This is working for Swift 3, on iOS 10.

Answer 3

You are adding the delegate method method of UINavigationControllerDelegate like below.

class PersonalInfoVC: UIViewController, UIImagePickerControllerDelegate , UINavigationControllerDelegate{

Adding the delegate and hide the status bar in it.

func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, willShow viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool){
    UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = true
}

Answer 4

The status bar can be hidden and show when presenting view controller UIImagePickerController swift 4+

picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
    if let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView {
        statusBar.isHidden =  true
    }
})

picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {
    if let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView {
        statusBar.isHidden =  false
    }
})
