Are you hiding your status bar on application launch? I think you might just need to reveal it earlier. Had a similar problem. — jd291, Dec 02 '13 at 21:39

This is how I solved this issue:

instead of using a ViewController, use a TableViewController
from the TableViewController delete the cell, and drop a simple view onto its tableView.
expand the view to match the tableView's frame
put all needed content in that view.

After this, the tableViewController will automatically adjust it's tableView right under the navigation bar as in IOS 7 as in 6.

Why would some one want to use tableVC when they need VC?. – Vignesh Sep 27 '13 at 13:00
A tableviewController is a subclass of ViewController. my approach is the fastest solution if you dont wanna play with the frames, just remove the cell, and put a uivew. – John Smith Sep 27 '13 at 13:03

In iOS 7, i solve the problem creating a UIImageView inside status bar, and then inside add a UINavigationBar.

UIImageView (320x20px) x=0 y=0

UINavigationBar (320x44px) x=0 y=20

Although it's now deprecated, you could set wantsFullScreenLayout to YES for iOS 6.

Make you navigation bar opaque. It will solve the problem.

what if you don't need it to be opaque, but still need not to go under it? – John Smith Sep 27 '13 at 13:04
