UIStatusBar Transition Animation -- Change Alpha Only

I am trying to have the UIStatusBar fade out during a transition, and fade back in on completion. (This is purely stylistic - I have a transition that comes from the top and to me at least, going under the UIStatusBar is jarring looking)

Is there a way to not remove the UIStatusBar but just make the whole view.layer.alpha = 0.0?

iOS9.2 & Swift2

Solution

  • don't think its possible Apple seems to be making a push to view controller based status bar control and depreciating all of the api to manually change the status bar state. I really hope in the next WWDC they will introduce replacements for these. I am facing the same problem in my application due to custom transitions that need to change status bar color/style.
