Hide Status Bar from iPhone application

Question

I want my app to not have the status bar at all! I have tried using the .plst

I have tried everything in here Status bar won't disappear and also in here How to prevent iOS 5 from showing the status bar even though UIStatusBarHidden is YES?

Can someone go into extreme detail to help me? I am using XCode 5 if that helps. I just want the status bar to be gone from the app! Thanks!

Answer 1

iOS 7

In your Info.plist file add key View controller-based status bar appearance with value NO. And, add key Status bar is initially hidden with value YES.

Answer 2

To hide the status bar after the app has completely launched, change it programmatically by adding this line to your app delegate's applicationDidFinishLaunching method:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];

If you set animated to YES then the status bar will disappear by fading out. One question, why do you want to delete the status bar?

Answer 3

in your "*project_name*-Info.plist" file, add a key named "Status bar is initially hidden" and then set the value to "YES". that will always hide the status bar.

Answer 4

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


// Add this Method
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}

Answer 5

Have you tried this: click on .xib file -> attribute inspector -> change 'Status Bar' to 'None' (refer attached image)

Answer 6

Open your application Info.plist file and add the following lines:

<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>

Answer 7

Please add this to your view controller

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}
