It seems like the program just moved the whole view up, and didn't stretch the webView to cover the bottom.
How can I make the webView take up the whole space, now that the status bar isn't taking up any? I tried just manually making the webView bigger in the storyboard but it has no effect.
I had the same problem in an iPhone app of mine. Try this:
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
self.webView.frame = self.view.bounds;
}
