Your root view controller should answer false to the method shouldAutorotate in order that your app responds to setStatusBarOrientation:animated

From Apple Documentation: "if your application has rotatable window content, however, you should not arbitrarily set status-bar orientation using this method"

To understand that, put a breakpoint in the shouldAutorotate method and you will see that it is called juste after setting the status bar orientation.
