iOS StatusBar hide causes view controller to shift up

Question

I have a full screen navigation menu that covers the entire screen. The problem I am facing is when I try to hide the status using:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];

The status bar hides but the view controller seems to shift up.

My view controller has this property set:

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeAll;

I thought that means the view controller's view appear underneath the status bar, regardless of the visibility of the status bar, the view controller should remain the same size, no ?

Is there a way to hide the status bar without affecting the height of the view controller's view ?

OK, seems like a stupid mistake on my part.

My View Controller should be using:

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;

Instead of

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeAll;

Strange thing, but the opposite (UIRectEdgeAll) did work for me. – Andrei Konstantinov May 18 '16 at 08:37
In Swift 4 it's `self.edgesForExtendedLayout = []` because there is no `.none` enum. This may be helpful to some people. – Xavier L. Mar 30 '18 at 11:11

Swift 4!

If you are using UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = false, and are using something that uses UIScrollView, UICollectionView, etc., then doing

yourScrollView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never

will prevent its contents from shifting.
