if you are doing it on the applicationDidFinishLaunching: there is an easier way of doing it:

The easiest way to hide the status bar (and this will work on any version) is to go into you Info.plist; right click to add a row and select Status Bar Initially hidden.

This will ensure every time you app launches the status bar will be hidden.

I can post scree shots if you need them, just let me know and hope this helps.
