Hide Status Bar from iPhone application

Question

I want my app to not have the status bar at all! I have tried using the .plst

I have tried everything in here Status bar won't disappear and also in here How to prevent iOS 5 from showing the status bar even though UIStatusBarHidden is YES?

Can someone go into extreme detail to help me? I am using XCode 5 if that helps. I just want the status bar to be gone from the app! Thanks!

In your Info.plist file add key View controller-based status bar appearance with value NO. And, add key Status bar is initially hidden with value YES.
