Apple advices us to avoid hiding status bar on iPhone X. My app hides status bar for all devices. But does it give a clean way to hide status bar on all devices where the bar doesn't interferes with UI as in iPhone X? Also I see status bar gets invisible in landscape mode in simulator. Not sure if it is a bug or a feature.

Q: Status bar in iPhone-x
The status bar displays information people find useful.
Based on your UI & requirement you should design
Acoording to Apple Guideline-
If your app currently hides the status bar, reconsider that decision on iPhone X. The display height on iPhone provides more vertical space for content than the displays of 4.7" iPhones, and the status bar occupies an area of the screen your app probably won't fully utilize. The status bar also displays information people find useful. It should only be hidden in exchange for added value
Q: Also I see status bar gets invisible in landscape mode in simulator
Yes, in landscape iPhone-x hides status bar
See video of iPhone-X hands on experience at 0:29
I just checked in iOS11 with iPhone SE & iPhone-6s which hides status bar automatically in landscape mode.
Also when you are in landscape mode there is no in-call-status bar in iOS11
