Hide statusbar during splash screen

Question

I'm trying to hide the statusbar during splash screen, which works fine when i add "Status bar is initially hidden" to plist and set value to YES, however this remove the statusBar from the enitre application, even though i've added "View controller-based status bar appearance" to plist and set value to NO and added following to appdelegate:

 UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent  

How can i remove the statusBar initially without removing it in the rest of the application?

Answer 1

This is updated for Swift 3 of Xcode 8.3.3

In your Info.plist add the following key:

Then in your AppDelegate file add the following in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions section:

func application(_application:UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {        UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = false       return true  } 

That should sort out your problem.

You can also configure the launch colour in your project Build Settings if this is a problem for you:

Hope that helps!
