Question

I have an app compiled for iOS7 and 6, but is very difficult manage the different behavior of the status bar. There is a way to prevent the content going under the status bar ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

In iOS7, the status bar always overlaps your view controller's view. It's up to you how you want to position subviews such that they do not go under the status bar.

If you are not using auto layout, you can use the iOS 6/7 deltas on the size inspector in interface builder to adjust the position of elements in iOS 6/7 as appropriate (usually by setting the y delta to -20 on iOS 7).

If you are using auto layout, you can create a vertical constraint between your views and the top layout guide to ensure that they are positioned correctly. Just control-drag from the top layout guide to your top-most view.

Have a look here:

at Supporting Older Versions of iOS Alongside iOS 7 section and use Deltas parameters.

It might help!
