Hide the status bar in ios 9

Question

How do you hide the status bar in ios 9?

This is now deprecated:

 [UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

Answer 1

Swift-3

 override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {  
    return true  
}  

I got the Information From Here

• Change func to var

• Delete ()

• Change -> to :

This works because a computed variable has a getter function, so the function you were implementing before simply turns into the getter function

2016 onwards: simple Thing like

On your info.plist add the following two property for statusBar Hidden

View controller-based status bar appearance (Boolean: NO)

Status bar is initially hidden (Boolean: YES)

By Source

<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>

or

Old answers ! ...

1. add application.statusBarHidden in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

   - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
   // Override point for customization after application launch.
   application.statusBarHidden = YES;
   return YES;
   }
   

and add

2. in info.plist add this View controller-based status bar appearance set NO

   View controller-based status bar appearance = NO
   

viewcontroller based hidden set

Add method in your view controller.

Objective -C

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}

Swift upto 2

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
return true
}

(GOOD) 2016.5.17 in iOS 9.0 worked nicely.

Updated Answer

1. Go to Info.plist file
2. Hover on one of those lines and a (+) and (-) button will show up.
3. Click the plus button to add new key
4. Type in start with capital V and automatically the first choice will be View controller-based status bar appearance. Add that as the KEY.
5. Set the VALUE to "NO"
6. Go to you AppDelegate.m for Objective-C (for swift language: AppDelegate.swift)
7. Add the code, inside the method

For Objective-C:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    [application setStatusBarHidden:YES];

    return YES;
}

For Swift:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject:AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    application.statusBarHidden = true

    return true
}
