Auto Layout and in-call status bar

Question

I'd like to ask about Auto Layout and in-call status bar. Here's a simple scenario that demonstrates my problem:

1. Create project with "Use Storyboards" enabled
2. Add "View Controller" and enable its "Is Initial View Controller"
3. Set background color of controller's view to red
4. Add "Table View" into controller's view

The table view should have 4 layout constraints (leading, top, trailing, bottom) to Superview with constant set to 0.

Now when I run this app in Simulator and press ⌘ + T I can see red background while the in-call status bar animates in. Is it possible to get rid of this glitch?

I ran into this issue as well and was trying out e.g. the solution pointed out above: It didn't work for me.

So I created a repository with example code to expose the original poster's problem. There are example applications for these scenarios:

1. the Custom View Controller is the window's root view controller,
2. the Custom View Controller is a child of a UINavigationController which is the window's root view controller,
3. the Custom View Controller is a child of a UITabBarController which is the window's root view controller and
4. the Custom View Controller is a child of a UINavigationController which is as child of a UITabBarController which is the window's root view controller.

It turned out that the solution from CEarwood actually works… when the custom view controller is a child of a UINavigationController (cases 2 and 4). Hoewever, it does not work in cases 1 and 3.

I hope this information is useful.
