iOS 7 status bar back to iOS 6 default style in iPhone app

Question

In iOS 7 the UIStatusBar has been designed in a way that it merges with the view like this     GUI designed by Tina Tavcar    It is cool  but it will somewhat mess up your view when you have something at the top part of your view  and it becomes overlapped with the status bar  Is there a simple solution  such as setting a property in info plist  that can change the way it works  not overlapping  back to how it is in iOS6   I know a more straightforward solution is to have self view center x   20 points for every single view controller  but changing them will screw other dimensions up  having a different self view center x can cause problem to custom segues  etc   and suddenly it turns into a tedious job that is best to be avoided   I ll really be glad if someone can provide me an one-liner solution for this    P S  I know I can hide the status bar by doing things like having    UIApplication sharedApplication  setStatusBarHidden YES withAnimation UIStatusBarAnimationNone     In didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method  but that s a workaround  a shortcut avoiding the problem  so I don t consider that a real solution

SOLUTION    Set it in your viewcontroller or in rootviewcontroller by overriding the method    - BOOL  prefersStatusBarHidden               return YES

Here another approach for projects that make extensive use of the Storyboard   GOAL   Goal of this approach is to recreate the same status bar style in iOS7 as there was in iOS6  see question title  iOS 7 Status Bar Back to iOS 6 style      SUMMARY   To achieve this we use the Storyboard as much as possible by shifting UI elements that are overlapped by the status bar  under iOS 7  downwards  whilst using deltas to revert the downwards layout change for iOS 6 1 or earlier  The resulting extra space in iOS 7 is then occupied by a UIView with the backgroundColor set to a color of our choosing  The latter can be created in code or using the Storyboard  see ALTERNATIVES below   ASSUMPTIONS   To get the desired result when following the steps below  it is assumed that View controller-based status bar appearance is set to NO and that your Status bar style is either set to  Transparent black style  alpha of 0 5   or  Opaque black style   Both settings can be found or added under  Info  in your project settings   STEPS    Add a subview to the UIWindow to serve as your status bar background  To achieve this  add the following to your AppDelegate s application  didFinishLaunchingWithOptions  after makeKeyAndVisible  if  NSFoundationVersionNumber  gt  NSFoundationVersionNumber iOS 6 1        UIView  statusBarBackgroundView     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectMake 0  0  yourAppsUIWindow frame size width  20        statusBarBackgroundView backgroundColor    UIColor blackColor        yourAppsUIWindow addSubview statusBarBackgroundView      Since you programmatically added a background for iOS 7 ONLY  you will have to adjust the layout of your UI elements that are overlapped by the status bar accordingly whilst preserving their layout for iOS6  To achieve this  do the following    Ensure that Use Autolayout is unchecked for your Storyboard  this is because otherwise  iOS 6 7 Deltas  is not shown in the Size Inspector   To do this    select your Storyboard file show Utilities select  Show the File Inspector  Under  Interface Builder Document  uncheck  Use Autolayout   Optionally  to help you monitor the layout changes for both iOS 7 AND 6 as you apply them  select the  Assistant Editor   select  Preview  and  iOS 6 1 or earlier     Now select the UI element you want to adjust so it isn t overlapped by the status bar anymore Select  Show the Size Inspector  in the Utilities column Reposition your UI element along the Y-axis by the same amount as the statusbar bg height   And change the iOS6 7 Deltas value for Y by the same NEGATIVE amount as the statusbar bg height  Note the change in the iOS 6 preview if you re using it       ALTERNATIVES   To add even less code in storyboard-heavy projects and to have the statusbar background autorotate  instead of programmatically adding a background for your statusbar  you could add a colored view to each view controller that sits at the very top of said viewcontroller s main view  You would then change the height delta of this new view to the same negative amount as your view s height  to make it disappear under iOS 6    The downside of this alternative  although maybe negligible considering the autorotate compatibility  is the fact that this extra view is not immediately visible if you are viewing your Storyboard for iOS 6  You would only know that it s there if you had a look at the  Document Outline  of the Storyboard

You can hide the status bar all together  So your app will be full-screen  I think that s the best you will get   UIStatusBarStyleNone or set in the target settings

My very simple solution  assuming you have only vertical orientation supported  is to redefine application window bounds for iOS versions below 7  in App delegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method   CGRect screenBounds     UIScreen mainScreen  bounds   if   HMService getIOSVersion   lt  7           handling statusBar  iOS6  by leaving top 20px for statusbar      screenBounds origin y   20      self window     UIWindow alloc  initWithFrame screenBounds     else       self window     UIWindow alloc  initWithFrame screenBounds

This is cross-posted from a blog post I wrote  but here is the full rundown on status bars  navigation bars  and container view controllers on iOS 7    There is no way to preserve the iOS 6 style status bar layout  The status bar will always overlap your application on iOS 7 Do not confuse status bar appearance with status bar layout  The appearance  light or default  does not affect how the status bar is laid out  frame height overlap   It is important to note as well that the system status bar no longer has any background color  When the API refers to UIStatusBarStyleLightContent  they mean white text on a clear background  UIStatusBarStyleDefault is black text on a clear background  Status bar appearance is controlled along one of two mutually-exclusive basis paths  you can either set them programmatically in the traditional manner  or UIKit will update the appearance for you based on some new properties of UIViewController  The latter option is on by default  Check your app   s plist value for    ViewController-Based Status Bar Appearance    to see which one you   re using  If you set this value to YES  every top-level view controller in your app  other than a standard UIKit container view controller  needs to override preferredStatusBarStyle  returning either the default or the light style  If you edit the plist value to NO  then you can manage the status bar appearance using the familiar UIApplication methods  UINavigationController will alter the height of its UINavigationBar to either 44 points or 64 points  depending on a rather strange and undocumented set of constraints  If the UINavigationController detects that the top of its view   s frame is visually contiguous with its UIWindow   s top  then it draws its navigation bar with a height of 64 points  If its view   s top is not contiguous with the UIWindow   s top  even if off by only one point   then it draws its navigation bar in the    traditional    way with a height of 44 points  This logic is performed by UINavigationController even if it is several children down inside the view controller hierarchy of your application  There is no way to prevent this behavior  If you supply a custom navigation bar background image that is only 44 points  88 pixels  tall  and the UINavigationController   s view   s bounds matches the UIWindow   s bounds  as discussed in  4   the UINavigationController will draw your image in the frame  0 20 320 44   leaving 20 points of opaque black space above your custom image  This may confuse you into thinking you are a clever developer who bypassed rule  1  but you are mistaken  The navigation bar is still 64 points tall  Embedding a UINavigationController in a slide-to-reveal style view hierarchy makes this abundantly clear  Beware of the confusingly-named edgesForExtendedLayout property of UIViewController  Adjusting edgesForExtendedLayout does nothing in most cases  The only way UIKit uses this property is if you add a view controller to a UINavigationController  then the UINavigationController uses edgesForExtendedLayout to determine whether or not its child view controller should be visible underneath the navigation bar   status bar area  Setting edgesForExtendedLayout on the UINavigationController itself does nothing to alter whether or not the UINavigationController has a 44 or 64 point high navigation bar area  See  4 for that logic  Similar layout logic applies to the bottom of your view when using a toolbar or UITabBarController  If all you are trying to do is prevent your custom child view controller from underlapping the navigation bar when inside a UINavigationController  then set edgesForExtendedLayout to UIRectEdgeNone  or at least a mask that excludes UIRectEdgeTop   Set this value as early as possible in the life cycle of your view controller  UINavigationController and UITabBarController will also try to pad the contentInsets of table views and collection views in its subview hierarchy  It does this in a manner similar to the status bar logic from  4  There is a programmatic way of preventing this  by setting automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets to NO for your table views and collection views  it defaults to YES   This posed some serious problems for Whisper and Riposte  since we use contentInset adjustments to control the layout of table views in response to toolbar and keyboard movements  To reiterate  there is no way to return to iOS 6 style status bar layout logic  In order to approximate this  you have to move all the view controllers of your app into a container view that is offset by 20 points from the top of the screen  leaving an intentionally black view behind the status bar to simulate the old appearance  This is the method we ended up using in Riposte and Whisper  Apple is pushing very hard to ensure that you don   t try to do  9  They want us to redesign all our apps to underlap the status bar  There are many cogent arguments  however  for both user experience and technical reasons  why this is not always a good idea  You should do what is best for your users and not simply follow the whimsy of the platform

This may be a overwhelming problem if you use Auto layout because you can not directly manipulate frames anymore  There is a simple solution without too much work   I ended up writing an utility method in an Utility Class and called it from all the view controllers s viewDidLayoutSubviews Method      void addStatusBarIfiOS7  UIViewController   vc               if  NSFoundationVersionNumber  gt  NSFoundationVersionNumber iOS 6 1                CGRect viewFrame   vc view frame              if viewFrame origin y    20                      If the view s y origin is already 20 then don t move it down                  return                            viewFrame origin y  20 0              viewFrame size height-  20 0              vc view frame   viewFrame               vc view layoutIfNeeded                     Override your viewDidLayoutSubviews method in the view controller  where you want status bar  It will get you through the burden of Autolayout   -  void viewDidLayoutSubviews         UIApplication sharedApplication setStatusBarStyle UIStatusBarStyleLightContent        super viewDidLayoutSubviews        MyUtilityClass addStatusBarIfiOS7 self

If you re using Interface builder  try this   In your xib file   1  Select the main view  set the background color to black  or whatever color you want the status bar to be  2  Make sure the background is a self contained subview positioned as a top level child of the controller s view  Move your background to become a direct child of the controller s view  Check the autosizing panel to be sure that you ve locked all frame edges  activated both flexibility axes  and if this is a UIImageView  set the content mode to Scale to fill    Programmatically this translates to contentMode set to UIViewContentModeScaleToFill and has its auto resizing mask set to  UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth   UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight    3  Now move everything that is locked to the top - down by 20 pts and set a iOS 6 7 delta Y to -20  All top level children that are locked to the top frame in the autosizing panel need to be moved down by 20pts and have their iOS 6 7 delta Y set to -20   Cmd select all of those  and click down arrow 20 times - is there a better way anyone    4  Adjust the iOS 6 7 delta height of all of the above items that had a flexible height  Any of the items that were locked to the frame top and bottom and had flexible height enabled in the autosizing panel must also have their iOS 6 7 delta height set to 20   That includes the background view mentioned above   This may seem anti-intuitive  but due to the order in which these are applied  it is necessary   The frame height is set first  based on device   then the deltas are applied  and finally the autosizing masks are applied based upon the offset positions of all of the child frames - think it through for a bit  it will make sense   5  Finally  items that were locked to the bottom frame but not the top frame need no deltas at all    That will give you the identical status bar in iOS7 and iOS6   On the other hand  if you want iOS7 styling while maintaining iOS6 compatibility  then set the delta Y   delta height values to 0 for the background view   To see more iOS7 migration info read the full post  http   uncompiled blogspot com 2013 09 legacy-compatible-offsets-in-ios7 html

UPDATE NEW SOLUTION        This update is the best solution of iOS 7 navigation bar problem You can set navigation bar color example  FakeNavBar backgroundColor    UIColor redColor        Note   If you use default Navigation Controller please use old solution       AppDelegate m   -  BOOL application  UIApplication   application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions  NSDictionary   launchOptions        if NSFoundationVersionNumber  gt   NSFoundationVersionNumber iOS 7 0                UIView  FakeNavBar     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectMake 0  0  320  20            FakeNavBar backgroundColor    UIColor whiteColor            float navBarHeight   20 0          for  UIView  subView in self window subviews                 if   subView isKindOfClass  UIScrollView class                      subView frame   CGRectMake subView frame origin x  subView frame origin y   navBarHeight  subView frame size width  subView frame size height - navBarHeight                 else                   subView frame   CGRectMake subView frame origin x  subView frame origin y   navBarHeight  subView frame size width  subView frame size height                                    self window addSubview FakeNavBar              return YES          OLD SOLUTION - IF you use previous code please ignore following Code and Image       This is old version of iOS 7 navigation bar solution    I solved the problem with the following code  This is for adding a status bar  didFinishLaunchingWithOptions  if     UIDevice currentDevice  systemVersion  floatValue   gt   7 0        UIView  addStatusBar     UIView alloc  init       addStatusBar frame   CGRectMake 0  0  320  20       addStatusBar backgroundColor    UIColor colorWithRed 0 973 green 0 973 blue 0 973 alpha 1     change this to match your navigation bar      self window rootViewController view addSubview addStatusBar       And for Interface Builder this is for when you open with iOS 6  it is starting at 0 pixels    Note  iOS 6 7 Deltas only appear if you uncheck  Use Autolayout  for the View Controller in the  File Inspector   left-most icon  in the details pane
