Application View moves up by 20 pixel on iOS 6

Question

When I minimize and maximize app in iOS 6 whole application view moves up by 20 pixel. (looks like ignoring status bar) But on iOS 7 its ok because status bar is overlaid on the application view.

I don't want app view to be moved up.
Can anyone explain what's happening?

The height of the window frame is 20 pixels more in ios 7. I'm not sure there is an easy fix. a fixed used can be to manipulate the window frame size depending if ios 6 or ios 7 by adding or subtracting from the frame height 20 pixels etc. I can't give a complete solution but if you search there are some general status bar solutions particularly stuff orientated toward people migrating from ios 6 to ios 7. — LanternMike, May 01 '14 at 15:35

I know that this is bad solution but I had no other way to do this :( I just moved down main window by 20 pixel in applicationWillEnterForeground.
- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application { if(!iOS7) [self.window setY:20]; }
This works good now : )
Hope this helps anyone : )

Shame nobody else commented for scalable solution. I'm having the same issue. – Lukesivi Nov 25 '15 at 16:21

This worked for me:

I checked "Adjust Scroll View Insets" in the MainStoryboard Attributes Inspector and it worked.

NOTE: I'm using a UITAbleView embedded in a Navigation Controller embedded in a tabViewController. I "selected" the main TabBarViewController.

The screen doesn't hide behind the header anymore.

This link helped a lot: UITableView embedded in other view has wrong position of section header
