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

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

No need to write a line of code...Cheers
