Answer 1

if you are doing it on the applicationDidFinishLaunching: there is an easier way of doing it:

The easiest way to hide the status bar (and this will work on any version) is to go into you Info.plist; right click to add a row and select Status Bar Initially hidden.

This will ensure every time you app launches the status bar will be hidden.

I can post scree shots if you need them, just let me know and hope this helps.

Answer 2

Just put in delegate class.

        [application setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];

It is working for me..I hope this will help you.

Answer 3

Your method is now deprecated for iOS 5. You should use one of the following:

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

Answer 4

In iOS 7 , add the below two items another item to info.plist :

View controller-based status bar appearance = NO

Status bar is initially hidden = YES

Answer 5

Please Add in Your AppDelegate Class

[application setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];

(or)

Please Add In your Info.plist file add key View controller-based status bar appearance with value NO.and also add Status bar is initially hidden YES

It is really working for me
