In order to use the legacy UIApplication method to hide show the status bar  your app must set a plist value for iOS 7   View-Controller Based Status Bar Appearance   NO  This value is set to YES by default  If you change it to NO  you can use the legacy methods  If you leave it set to YES  you can still hide the status bar  but it s up to each view controller subclass in your app to override  prefersStatusBarHidden to return YES   Any time your app needs the status bar appearance or visibility to change  and View-Controller Based Status Bar Appearance is set to YES  your outermost view controller needs to call   setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdateAnimation

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

To hide Status Bar on a Single view  you should use              UIApplication sharedApplication  setStatusBarHidden YES withAnimation UIStatusBarAnimationSlide    At first  this didn t work for me  and then a saw in the documentation of this method that says      Setting statusBarHidden does nothing if your application is using the default UIViewController-based status bar system   This has to be done on the plist file  adding the key View controller-based status bar appearance set to NO  And then it worked

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

The easiest method I ve found for hiding the status bar throughout the entire app is by creating a category on UIViewController and overriding prefersStatusBarHidden  This way you don t have to write this method in every single view controller   UIViewController HideStatusBar h   import  lt UIKit UIKit h gt    interface UIViewController  HideStatusBar    end   UIViewController HideStatusBar m   import  UIViewController HideStatusBar h    implementation UIViewController  HideStatusBar     Pragma Marks suppress compiler warning in LLVM     Technically  you shouldn t override methods by using a category     but I feel that in this case it won t hurt so long as you truly    want every view controller to hide the status bar     Other opinions on this are definitely welcome   pragma clang diagnostic push  pragma clang diagnostic ignored  -Wobjc-protocol-method-implementation   -  BOOL prefersStatusBarHidden       return YES      pragma clang diagnostic pop    end

I tried all these options posted here on my project and they would not work  I thought it could be to do with the fact I had updated my Xcode and then the app to iOS 7 and some settings had got messed up somewhere  I decided To build a completely new project for it and after simple just setting   Status bar is initially hidden   YES  and  View controller-based status bar appearance   NO  as stated by many others it worked correctly  i e  no status bar    So my advice if you are working on a project which has been updated to iOS 7 from an old version and have tried all other options is to build a new project
