In iOS7, status bar default background is not rotating

Question

I am developing an iPad application for iOS 6 and above. As we know for there is status bar view change. I have added below code to display normal status bar like iOS 6:

In AppDelegate.mm --> didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7) {

    [application setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];

    self.window.clipsToBounds =YES;

    self.window.frame =  CGRectMake(0,20,self.window.frame.size.width,self.window.frame.size.height-20);
}

When I run my application over iOS 6, status bar looks fine for both the orientations. But when I run over iOS 7 simulator and device. Status bar does move with the rotation, but the black background of status bar is not moving at all.

Initial - Portrait:

Rotate - Landscape:

The same kind of issue comes for all three rotations, rather than Portrait.

Please guide me what could be the solution for this.

Instead of adding subview on UIWindow, set your viewcontroller as root view controller.

AppDelegate.mm

window.rootViewController = myViewController;
// [window addSubview: myViewController.view];

Hope this will help to others.
