I want the status bar to be displayed in both orientations in iOS 8; it's being displayed properly in iOS 7.

navigationController.isNavigationBarHidden returns NO.

Why is iOS 8 doing this?

Try this

Add below code in didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];

EDIT
NO NEED TO WRITE CODE IN ALL VIEW CONTROLLER
Set View controller-based status bar appearance to NO in plist and add below code in root view controller's viewDidLoad

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
