iOS 7 status bar overlapping UI

Question

I recently upgraded to xcode 5 and when I run my app in the iOS simulator the splash screen overlaps the status bar and when you are in the app the status bar overlaps onto elements on my app  like a back button I have on the top left hand corner of my app  I build my app using phonegap 2 9  Any ideas how i can get this to render correctly

The best approach you can use  is to resize the main view  specially if your application uses a footer   on MainViewController m using the viewDidLoad method  after  super viewDidLoad    NSArray  vComp     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion componentsSeparatedByString        if    vComp objectAtIndex 0  intValue   gt   7           iOS 7 or above     CGRect oldBounds    self view bounds       CGRect newViewBounds   CGRectMake  0  -10  oldBounds size width  oldBounds size height-20        CGRect newWebViewBounds   CGRectMake  0  -20  oldBounds size width  oldBounds size height-40          self view setBounds newViewBounds        self webView setBounds newWebViewBounds       then you won t need to modify any javascript into your application

If your developing for iOS 7 I wouldn t recommend wrapping the status bar in a black rectangle old iOS style  Just integrate it to the design for a more iOS 7  fullscreen  look   You can use this plugin to adjust the ink colour of the status bar  or hide it or show it in any instance of your app   https   github com jota-v cordova-ios-statusbar  The js methods are   window plugins statusBar hide    window plugins statusBar show    window plugins statusBar blackTint    window plugins statusBar whiteTint      IMPORTANT  Also in your app plist file set UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO

In MainViewController m inside  -  void viewWillAppear  BOOL animated add this     Lower screen 20px on ios 7     if     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion  floatValue   gt   7            CGRect viewBounds    self webView bounds           viewBounds origin y   18          viewBounds size height   viewBounds size height - 18          self webView frame   viewBounds          so the end function will look like this    -  void viewWillAppear  BOOL animated          View defaults to full size   If you want to customize the view s size  or its subviews  e g  webView          you can do so here        Lower screen 20px on ios 7     if     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion  floatValue     7            CGRect viewBounds    self webView bounds           viewBounds origin y   18          viewBounds size height   viewBounds size height - 18          self webView frame   viewBounds             super viewWillAppear animated

Some of the above answers will give you a black bar on top if you set your screen bound 20px  other will keep reduce your webview screen if you use webview frame size height -20px  Try this one then  it works on any ios and no need to change css  put in inside   -  void webViewDidFinishLoad  UIWebView  theWebView       is it IOS7 and up  if     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion  floatValue   gt   7        get the device screen size      CGRect screenBounds     UIScreen mainScreen  bounds       reduce the height by 20px      int x  screenBounds size height -20      set the webview top pos 20px so it is under the status bar and reduce the size by 20px       theWebView setFrame CGRectMake 0  20  theWebView frame size width  x

Actually  I found Gimi s answer to be the best answer  and I ve been looking a lot  Just to add to Gimi s answer  and also answer ignacio-munizaga s reply on that answer  The code will execute whenever the view appears  which means after you close an inline browser  or after camera roll etc  so I just put a bool value stating whether the size has already been adjusted   The final code looks like   bool sizeWasAdjusted   false  -  void viewWillAppear  BOOL animated          View defaults to full size   If you want to customize the view s size  or its subviews  e g  webView          you can do so here        Lower screen 20px on ios 7     if   sizeWasAdjusted  amp  amp     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion  floatValue   gt   7            CGRect viewBounds    self webView bounds           viewBounds origin y   18          viewBounds size height   viewBounds size height - 18          self webView frame   viewBounds          sizeWasAdjusted   true             super viewWillAppear animated

You can resolve this issue if you are using storyboards  as in this question  iOS 7 - Status bar overlaps the view  If you re not using storyboard  then you can use this code in your AppDelegate m in did finishlaunching   if     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion  floatValue   gt   7         application setStatusBarStyle UIStatusBarStyleLightContent       self window clipsToBounds  YES      self window frame    CGRectMake 0 20 self window frame size width self window frame size height-20       Also see this question  Status bar and navigation bar issue in IOS7

I started to go this route  but I have my own navigation control with a core view that I slide into a frame that s usually wrapping the core with a common title bar and tabbar  no storyboard  no UINavigationController     It started to get complicated fast  adding and subtracting the 20 pixels of the status bar   Then an epiphany   I made a copy of the  xib file  told Xcode to show it to me as an iOS 7 layout  realigned everything  and put a single 6 7 switch in code    instantly  everything works right  and the additional resources add only 8K to the bundle

With the release of iOS 7 0 4  the iOS7 fix broke in my current project  as 7 0 4 works w o the fix  So added a minor control to just run it if running minor release 3 or less   NSArray  vComp     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion componentsSeparatedByString        if    vComp objectAtIndex 0  intValue     7  amp  amp    vComp objectAtIndex 1  intValue     0  amp  amp    vComp      objectAtIndex 2  intValue   lt   3         CGRect oldBounds    self view bounds       CGRect newViewBounds   CGRectMake  0  -10  oldBounds size width  oldBounds size height-20        CGRect newWebViewBounds   CGRectMake  0  -20  oldBounds size width  oldBounds size height-40         self view setBounds newViewBounds        self webView setBounds newWebViewBounds

To address the issue of the status bar iOS7  we can use the following code to Cordova   PhoneGap   function onDeviceReady         if  parseFloat window device version      7 0              document body style marginTop    20px            document addEventListener  deviceready   onDeviceReady  false     Anyway Cordova 3 1 will soon fix that this and other issues for iOS7

If you re using Cordova with Sencha Touch and you re using the normal Sencha Touch navigation title bars  you can just stretch the navbar and reposition the content within the navbar so it looks at home on iOS 7  Just add this into app js  after your last Ext Viewport add line        Adjust toolbar height when running in iOS to fit with new iOS 7 style if  Ext os is iOS  amp  amp  Ext os version major  gt   7      Ext select   x-toolbar   applyStyles  height  62px  padding-top  15px          Source  http   lostentropy com 2013 09 22 ios-7-status-bar-fix-for-sencha-touch-apps    This is a bit hacky  I know  but it saves dealing with it at the Objective-C level  It won t be much good for those not using Sencha Touch with Cordova  though

I ve got a problem opening the inApp browser with phonegap  Gimi s fix worked well  but everytime I opened the inApp browser the screen was shrinked at the bottom  So I ve added an if statement to check if the webview s y origin was 0  The inApp browser hasn t the y origin 0 anymore so it solved my problem      ios 7 status bar fix -  void viewWillAppear  BOOL animated          View defaults to full size   If you want to customize the view s size  or its subviews  e g  webView          you can do so here        Lower screen 20px on ios 7     if     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion  floatValue   gt   7            if self webView frame origin y    0                CGRect viewBounds    self webView bounds               viewBounds origin y   20              viewBounds size height   viewBounds size height - 20              self webView frame   viewBounds                        super viewWillAppear animated       The solution is not really mine but I can t find the source  Hope it helps

I develop for iOS7 first but in order to keep compatible with iOS6 I do exactly the opposite what Gimi suggested - in MainViewController m I set the y origin 20px up and increase the view height by 20px     Lower screen 20px on ios 7  if     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion  floatValue   lt  7      CGRect viewBounds    self webView bounds       viewBounds origin y   -20      viewBounds size height   viewBounds size height   20      self webView frame   viewBounds

Place this code snippet in your MainViewController m file in the phonegap project   -  void viewDidLayoutSubviews       if   self respondsToSelector  selector topLayoutGuide       iOS 7 or above               CGFloat top   self topLayoutGuide length          if self webView frame origin y    0                  We only want to do this once  or                 if the view has somehow been  restored  by other    code              self webView frame   CGRectMake self webView frame origin x                                             self webView frame origin y   top                                             self webView frame size width                                             self webView frame size height-top

Here is my approach using CSS and Javascript   1  Define the following in your CSS    ios7-statusbar-fix       width 100       height 20px      background-color white      position fixed      z-index 10000      margin-top -20px      display none      2  Add div-container with this id as very first element after your  lt body gt -tag    lt body gt       lt div id  ios7-statusbar-fix  gt  lt  div gt        3  Filter iOS 7 devices and apply changes via Javascript   if  navigator userAgent match   iPad   iPhone   iPod      CPU  OS 7  d i             document body style marginTop    20px           document getElementById  ios7-statusbar-fix   style display    block
