πŸ“±πŸ’»πŸ”§ Uncovering the Mystery of the Status Bar and Navigation Bar in iOS 7! πŸ€”

So you've just downloaded Xcode 5 DP to test your slick apps on iOS 7, and bam! Your view's bounds are getting invaded by the status bar and navigation bar. 😱

No worries, my tech-savvy friend! I'm here to reveal some common issues and provide you with easy solutions in a jiffy. Let's dive in! πŸ’¦

First, you need to know why this happens. In the viewDidLayoutSubviews method, you're printing the view's bounds and getting something like this: {{0, 0}, {320, 568}}. This means that your content is appearing below the navigation bar and status bar. Not cool, right? πŸ˜“

Now, to fix this problem without breaking a sweat, you might think you have to manually adjust the height by calculating your view's bounds. But hold your horses! There's an easier way. πŸŽ‰

Simply set the translucent property of the navigation bar to NO, like this:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;

VoilΓ ! 🎩 Your view won't get framed underneath the navigation bar and status bar anymore. Easy, peasy! πŸ™Œ

But wait! What if you actually want the navigation bar to be translucent, especially when viewing a cool photo on fullscreen mode? Well, my friend, in that case, we're diving into murkier waters. πŸ˜…

Unfortunately, I haven't discovered a solid fix for this specific scenario yet. When you toggle showing/hiding the navigation bar, things can get pretty funky. The first subview (probably a UIScrollView) may find its bounds' origin magically changing constantly. 😩

πŸ“£CALL-TO-ACTION TIME!πŸ“£

If you've discovered a secret workaround for the translucent navigation bar case, please share your wisdom in the comments below! Let's save our fellow iOS 7 developers from this head-scratching dilemma. πŸ’ͺ
