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

i think i solved this in a pretty simple way without subclassing and using plist. it only hides for UIImagePickerController.

this example is for bringing up the photo gallary only, but i imagine you can apply it in the same way to anywhere with in uiimagepickercontroller

- (void)showGallary
{
  [CATransaction begin];
  [CATransaction setCompletionBlock:^{
      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleDefault];
  }];

  imgPicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;

  [CATransaction commit];
}
