Status bar on iPad with iOS 7 (iPad/iPad mini)

Question

I have an application where I present an UIImagePickerController and I need to hide the status bar. The method I use to hide it works on iOS devices with 6.X OS and on iPhone/iPod Touch with 7.0, but the status bar is still visible on iPad/iPad mini devices with 7.0 OS.

Can someone tell me the reason why is not working on iOS 7.0 iPad devices?

Answer 1

Add this to your Plist file:

UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance and set it to NO

and

UIStatusBarHidden and set that one to YES

Answer 2

add this method to your viewcontroller Note:Use this when you want dynamically to hide status bar

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
  return YES;
}
