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

In my case I had to use presentViewController to show UIImagePickerViewController (iOS7).

1- Set View controller-based status bar appearance to NO in .plist 2- Create a category for UIImagePickerController and in viewDidLayoutSubviews:

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews{
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
}

3- Added the two following methods to the category:

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden{
    return YES;
}

- (UIViewController *)childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden{
    return nil;
}

I hope this will help.
