Cannot hide status bar in iOS7

Many of the answers on this thread work, but it's my understanding if you're trying to do anything dynamic you'll eventually need to call:

[self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];

I had to do both changes below to hide the status bar:

Add this code to the view controller where you want to hide the status bar:

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}

Add this to your .plist file (go to 'info' in your application settings)

View controller-based status bar appearance --- NO

Then you can call this line to hide the status bar:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

Just add these 2 lines in info.plist file. It will make the fix for iOS7 and older version both.

- Status bar is initially hidden = YES
- View controller-based status bar appearance = NO

Navigate to the project and select Targets -> General and see the "Status Bar style ...Hide during application launch" check box will be checked. This will work.

Try this simple method:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
}

Steps For Hide the status bar in iOS 7:

1.Go to your application info.plist file.

2.And Set, View controller-based status bar appearance : Boolean NO

Hope i solved the status bar issue.....

There are so many combinations suggested for this issue, but the problem is that iOS 6 and 7 use different methods to hide the status bar. I have never been successful setting the plist settings to enable the iOS6-style behaviour on iOS 7, but if you are building your app to support iOS 6+, you need to use 3 methods at once to ensure a particular view controller hides the status bar:

// for ios 7
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden{
return YES;
}

// for ios 6
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
// explicitly set the bar to show or it will remain hidden for other view controllers
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];
}

This should work regardless of your plist settings.

in your apps plist file add a row call it "View controller-based status bar appearance" and set it to NO

Note that this simply does not work, if you are using UIImagePickerController in the app.

For iOS 7 in a single view use in viewWillappear method:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:NO];

For display the status bar use:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:NO];

To hide status bar in iOS7 you need 2 lines of code

1. inapplication:`(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions` write

[application setStatusBarHidden:YES];

2. in info.plist add this

View-Controller Based Status Bar Appearance = NO
