Can't get a translucent status bar in iOS
I'm trying to get the standard black translucent status bar in my iOS (iOS 6) app programmatically with no luck. I tried adding the key/value in my info.plist, as well as adding...
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
...to no effect. What else could be causing this?
Answer
Thank you everyone for your input! You can set it in the info.plist, or use
[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
Turns out it was translucent - there was just nothing underneath. What i was missing was this line in my view controller
self.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
and thats it!
