iOS 7 Status Bar Disappears After Playing a Video

Question

I'm not the only one who's having this kind of issue. Here's another one, Status bar height changes after playing a Youtube video. But I can't still find a way to solve this. I'm not using MPMoviePlayerController. I think I just have to use these codes;

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

self.webView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0,
                                20.0,
                                self.webView.frame.size.width,
                                self.webView.frame.size.height);

But it's not so working.

Please see this images below..

At first this is what my "Home" looks like.

Status bar disappears while playing a video from Youtube/Vimeo (or whatever).

When I go back, see them bunched up.

Found out that FB figure out how to handle this. They had their status bar appears right there.

Any help???

Cheers in advance!

I don't know if apply for your case, but in my case the status bar appears after I loaded a UIImagePickerController and change my default screen orientation.

I fix this situation add application.statusBarHidden = YES; inside appDelegate like this:

- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
// Detect if I need to hide the StatusBar (optional)
if (iNeedToHide == YES) {  
    application.statusBarHidden = YES;
}
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape;

}

I hope this helps you.
