Hiding the statusbar iOS

Question

I'm trying to hide the statusbar on the landingpage of my app only. I figured this is the right function and it does get executed, however the status bar still remains there

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewDidAppear(animated)
    FBSDKLoginManager().logOut()

    self.prefersStatusBarHidden()
}

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
    return true
}

What am I doing wrong?

`self.prefersStatusBarHidden` That is wrong (and pointless). You _never_ call this method. — matt, Nov 07 '16 at 05:11
Can you explain why I should never call this method? I want my statusbar hidden on my landingpage only. — Rutger Huijsmans, Nov 07 '16 at 05:19
remove this line, self.prefersStatusBarHidden(). @RutgerHuijsmans — KAR, Nov 07 '16 at 05:22
self.prefersStatusBarHidden() remove this line and all shall work well — Md. Ibrahim Hassan, Nov 07 '16 at 05:31

Try this.

Add below entries in info.plist

View controller-based status bar appearance -> YES

Status bar is initially hidden -> YES

And In ViewControllers, In which you want to hide the StatusBar, Write below method.

override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {  
    return true  
}

Set value "No" for key "View controller-based status bar appearance" in plist file

and No need to call "self.prefersStatusBarHidden()" manually so remove it from viewDidAppear
