Hide Status Bar In iOS 8 app

Question

I have tried

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; 

This does nothing.

And I have looked in my Info.pli

Answer 1

You can add that row to your Info.plist file if it isn't there. Just go to the project in Xcode, go to the "Info" section, and hover over one of the existing rows. A "+" button should appear, allowing you to add a line and input "View controller-based status bar appearance".
