try this code,

ViewDidLoad Method:

    float delay = 0.1;

    dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, delay * NSEC_PER_SEC),  dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = NO;

ViewWillAppear method give this below Code:

[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = NO;

Add the following code to your view controller:

if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]) {
    // iOS 7
    [self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
} else {
    // iOS 6
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
}

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}

or write this in appdelegate.m

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

Or add the property Status bar is initially hidden in your plist file

Folks, in iOS 7+

please add this to your info.plist file, It will make the difference :)

UIStatusBarHidden UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance

I don't know if apply for your case, but in my case the status bar appears after I loaded a UIImagePickerController and change my default screen orientation.

I fix this situation add application.statusBarHidden = YES; inside appDelegate like this:

- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
// Detect if I need to hide the StatusBar (optional)
if (iNeedToHide == YES) {  
    application.statusBarHidden = YES;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;
}

i hope it will help you
