hide status bar iPad iOS 7.0

Question

I read lot's of answers how to hide status bar on iPad in iOS 7.0 but nothing works. My app is an iPhone app only, and it's deployment target is set to 6.0 . On iPhone 6.0 , 7.0 and iPad 6.0 status bar is hidden, but on iPad with iOS 7.0 isn't.

my info.plist

app screen (iPad iOS 7.0)

Try these properties in the plist also for iPad 7.0

Status bar is initially hidden = YES

View controller-based status bar appearance = NO

it's in my -Info.plist too – Igor Prusyazhnyuk Mar 18 '14 at 00:34
What about? [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO]; – PCoder123 Mar 18 '14 at 00:44
it was set as YES, when i change to NO nothing happens. In my .plist : status bar is initially hidden = YES ; View controller-based status bar appearance = NO ; – Igor Prusyazhnyuk Mar 18 '14 at 00:48
I have the same problem. Using the same setting as Igor. Works for iphone but not for ipad – vboombatz Mar 25 '14 at 15:39

Try:

Option1:

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
  return YES;
}

Use this code in the rootViewController of your app

Option 2:

In info.plist file add a row for "View controller-based status bar appearance" and set it to NO

Option 3:

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {

       [application setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];

        self.window.clipsToBounds =YES;

        self.window.frame =  CGRectMake(0,20,self.window.frame.size.width,self.window.frame.size.height-20);
    }

This method is inside my rootViewController and this key is already inside my plist(See screenshot). – Igor Prusyazhnyuk Mar 18 '14 at 00:36

Try if add this to hide the status bar if you use "View controller-based status bar appearance" to NO.

AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary     *)launchOptions
{
    [application setStatusBarHidden:YES];
    return YES;
}

I always use this snippet:

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

[self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];

And implement this method:

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}

Try adding this method to your ViewController , it worked for me

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
    return YES;
}
