Status Bar hide/show affects view size

I want to hide/show status bar when user taps a button. Here is how i do it:

// Hide
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES
                                   withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
// Show
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO
                                   withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];

This brakes UI layout, because view is moved up. I selected all Extend Edges options, but it didn't help. enter image description here

I discovered that layout changes because of view height:

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];

    NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGRect(self.navigationController.view.frame));
}

It logs:

{{0, 0}, {320, 568}} - when Status Bar is hidden.

{{0, 0}, {320, 588}} - when it is shown.

The question is how to prevent view frame change when Status Bar is being shown or hidden.

This is an issue in iOS 8. You can restore the old behavior by overriding the following

 -(BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
   return YES;
  }

My Navigation Controller was embedded in the other view, which one was aligned to the Top Layout Guide. That was the problem.
