Hide the status bar in ios 9

Question

How do you hide the status bar in ios 9?

This is now deprecated:

 [UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

Answer 1

In most of the iOS it will work. I have tested with iOS 10.

1. Open info.plist
2. "View controller-based status bar appearance" set to NO
3. "Status bar is initially hidden" set to YES
4. Done
