Hide status bar on launch image

Is there a way to hide the status bar when the app's launch image is displayed and then bring it back? My app has a black status bar and the one displayed over the launch image is grey.

Is there any solution for this?

Solution

  • Use this code for hiding status bar:

    ObjectiveC:

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES
 withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];

    Swift:

    UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(true, withAnimation: .Slide)

    If you don't need status bar in the beginning. Add this setting (UIStatusBarHidden) in your Info plist file:

    Status bar is initially hidden

    with a value of YES.

    Use this code anywhere in the app to show the status bar for that particular View Controller

    ObjectiveC:

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];

    Swift:

    UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(false, withAnimation: .Slide)
