Hide status bar on launch image

Question

Is there a way to hide the status bar when the app's launch image is displayed and then bring it back? My app has a black status bar and the one displayed over the launch image is grey.

Is there any solution for this?

Answer 1

Use this code for hiding status bar:

ObjectiveC:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES  withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide]; 

Swift:

UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(true, withAnimation: .Slide) 

---

If you don't need status bar in the beginning. Add this setting (UIStatusBarHidden) in your Info plist file:

Status bar is initially hidden 

with a value of YES.

Use this code anywhere in the app to show the status bar for that particular View Controller

ObjectiveC:

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

Swift:

UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarHidden(false, withAnimation: .Slide)
