Answer 1

click on the "projectname-Info.plist" file under the XCode root project folder , you will be shown with an UI where you can see key vs values entries ,you can add/delete keys, add a new key just look for "Status bar is initially hidden" and set "YES" as the value.

Answer 2

This worked for me:

<preference name="fullscreen" value="true" />

I'm working on Android.

Answer 3

With Cordova, I had to do actually 2 things.

1. When I build with XCode I set in Target->Statusbar style to -> HIDDEN this would hide statusbar at startup on your splash screen.

2. You have to hide it also on device ready with plugin. Otherwise, it will reappear. To do that, install plugin:

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.statusbar

and call this on deviceready:

StatusBar.hide();
