Status Bar not hiding - iOS 7

Question

I recently made a change to my project (Adding SWRevealController and Removing my TabbarController), and all of a sudden my status bar won't hide.

I have tried the following solutions:

1. Hiding via IB Hiding in my base view controller using

   (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden 
   

2. Hiding using this code in viewdidload.

   [self prefersStatusBarHidden]; 
   [self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]; 
   

3. Adding View controller-based status bar appearance set to NO to the plist file.

Answer 1

In your apps plist file add a row call it "View controller-based status bar appearance" and set it to NO.

Answer 2

try this method

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES; }

Answer 3

You can hide the status bar in your project General Settings.

Click on YourApplication Target. Click on General Tab.

select Hide During Application Launch option in Deployment Info Section.

I am adding a screenShot for your convenience.

Your Project provide itself the option of hiding the status bar so why to add the same property in the .plist file.

Enjoy Coding...!!!!

Answer 4

I am not 100% convinced, but the problem seemed to resolve when I added "Status bar is initially hidden" = YES to my PLIST file. I don't understand why, but it seems to have done the trick.
