Is it possible to simulate iOS 6 status bar during application launch time (splash screen) in iOS 7? Basically I need to shift down the splash screen in iOS 7 on application launch time so the status bar is on the black background.

I found a solution. You can specify different launch images for iOS 7 that have black line of 40 pixels height at the top (simulating the status bar). To do that, there are 2 possibilities:

1) Using Xcode inside General settings of your app. Specify different launch screens for iOS 7 by specifying "Retina" and "Retina 4-inch" images.

enter image description here

2) Using plist. Set UILaunchImages.

From UI Transition Guide:

In iOS 7, an app can use a different launch image depending on which version of iOS it’s running in. To provide different launch images, add the UILaunchImages key to the Info.plist file and use a dictionary to describe each launch image.More information here.

  • By disabling the use of Asset Library, I was able to specify the same PNG to both iOS versions. Previously, XCode required a different PNG file for each iOS version, even though they were the same. – Kof Oct 07 '13 at 15:31
