Cannot hide status bar in iOS7

📱🚫Cannot hide status bar in iOS7? We've got you covered! 😎

So, you recently upgraded your iPhone 5 to iOS 7, but the status bar doesn't seem to hide when running your app from Xcode 5. Frustrating, right? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many developers face this issue, and we're here to help you fix it. Let's dive in! 🏊‍♂️

First, let's take a look at the code you've tried to hide the status bar:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden = YES;

Unfortunately, both of these approaches don’t work in iOS 7. 😕

But fear not, there's an easy solution! 💡 You can try using View Controller-Based Status Bar Appearance to control the status bar visibility on a per-view-controller basis. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open your app's Info.plist file. 📝

2. Add a new key called View controller-based status bar appearance and set its value to NO. This tells the app that you'll be controlling the status bar appearance globally. 💼

3. In your AppDelegate.m file, add the following code to the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method:

[application setStatusBarHidden:YES];

1. Build and run your app again. Voila! The status bar should now be hidden. 🙌
