According to the UIViewController docs here,

Answer 1

You could try to achieve something with: setStatusBarOrientation:animated: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/UIApplication_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIApplication/setStatusBarOrientation:animated:

this fixed for me a similar issue.
