Status Bar appears in QLPreviewController after toolbar reappers

Question

Status bar is initially hidden in Info.plist with "Status bar is initially hidden" set to YES and "View controller-based status bar appearance" set to NO.

But when I present a QlPreviewController, after two taps to document to make toolbar disappear and appear again, status bar appears in application too.

Any idea how to prevent this from happening?

Did you find an answer? Struggling with the same problem here. Thx! — Alessandro, Mar 25 '14 at 17:33
@Alessandro Sadly, no. I'm just making status bar dissappear again when QlPreviewController is removed from superview. — Batuhan Sener, Apr 10 '14 at 16:18

In your Info.plist file, set UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance as true. Then in all view controllers that you want to hide the status bar add the following code:

    - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
        return YES;
    }

By doing this and create a sub class of QLPreviewController I was able to hide the status bar, even after returning from full screen state.
