I tried to hide status bar in iOS7 by putting this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];

in delegate or in mainview

But it's not working!

It was working in iOS6

Either set "View controller-based status bar appearance" to NO in your info plist or add this code in your view controllers:

-(BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
    return YES;
}

In a viewController where you want to hide status bar add:

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
    return YES;
}

In viewDidLoad

    [self prefersStatusBarHidden];
    [self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];

In app *-info.plist

View controller-based status bar appearance set to YES

Try this.

In your iOS target -> Info, add View controller-based status bar appearance and set the value as NO.

It worked for me in iOS7. I have also set "status bar initially hidden" property to YES

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
}




// Add this Method
