iOS 7 status bar overlaps camera controls on UIImagePickerController

Question

I\'ve tried setting the Info.plist \'View controller-based status bar appearance\' to NO, I\'ve tried calling

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBar         


        

Answer 1

The PsychoDad method works for me. I put the following

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

into the method viewWillDisappear of subclass of UIImagePickerController.

But the Alexandru Dranca method is better because in that way the status bar don't appear at all!

However I think this is a BUG of IOS 7...

Answer 2

"View controller-based status bar appearance" set to NO, works for me.

Answer 3

I've been on this bug for repairing ToonPAINT for iOS7 and the thing that finally worked other than setting the two things in the Info.plist file (Status bar is initially hidden = NO; View controller-based status bar appearance = NO)

was to change the style of the status bar (even though I didn't want it shown at all); It was not enough to just hide the status bar; sounds like an iOS7 bug.

In the app delegate add:

-(void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController
 willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
 animated:(BOOL)animated
  {
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
  }

{NB .. UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent is deprecated, probably use UIStatusBarStyleLightContent if trying this}
