Setting UIApplication statusBarHidden to YES does not work in iOS 7

Question

I\'ve been using

[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = YES; 

to hide the status bar when users enter specific UIViewControlle

Answer 1

What worked for me was setting "Status bar is initially hidden" to YES in my app's Info.plist.

Answer 2

EDITED:::

that is new updated answer :
Do in plist file

"View controller-based status bar appearance" to NO and write code

     [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = YES; 

in appdelegate
