How to hide status bar in UIImagepickercontroller?

Question

I am new to iOS development. I am trying to hide status bar in UIImagePickerController. Whenever I click on \"Take photo\", status bar appears. It doesn\'t hide

Answer 1

subclass UIImagePickerController ... mine is V1ImagePickerController ...

.m file looks like this:

#import "V1ImagePickerController.h"

@interface V1ImagePickerController ()

@end

@implementation V1ImagePickerController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    if (floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) > NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_6_1)   // iOS7+ only
    {
        self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;

        [self prefersStatusBarHidden];
        [self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
    }
}

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
    return YES;
}

- (UIViewController *)childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden
{
    return nil;
}

@end

the childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden is the key!
