Passing touch events to iOS status bar

Question

I have a UIWindow with windowLevel set to UIWindowLevelStatusBar+1. This window has a single semi-transparent view that blocks the status bar. I need to sometimes pass touch

Answer 1

As far as I understand this, you should use - (UIView *)hitTest:(CGPoint)point withEvent:(UIEvent *)event to implement that behavior. Basically, you either return self if you want to handle the touch event or [super hitTest:point withEvent:event] to let the status bar handle the touch event.

Check out the UIView Class Reference for more.

EDIT: As Jonathan mentioned, Apple might not approve this.
