Hiding status bar IOS

Question

I am trying to hide the status bar, or at least change the color of the icons to white because they don't fit with my design. I have tried to put "none" and "lighten" from storyboard, and by using this code:

-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

}

...and setting hide status bar at app launch, but the status bar is still, stuck there. There was no way to change the color of the icons either. Why?

You are using an outdated method and this question has been asked a lot - you should check the search function before posting and that is the reason for my down-vote. — Till, Sep 16 '13 at 17:59
oh I get it, it didn't work because I am running iOS 7 and from what I have understood the method has changed with the iOS update — Alessandro, Sep 16 '13 at 18:03

Easiest way to hide statusbar throughout app is just go into your Info.plist; right click to add a row and select Status Bar Initially hidden.

This will ensure every time you app launches the status bar will be hidden.

Go into Targets => Summary and there you should check "Hide during application launch" and it will solve your problem
