On iOS8, displaying my app in landscape mode will hide the status bar but on iOS 7 the status bar is displayed on both orientations

Question

I want the status bar to be displayed in both orientations in iOS 8; it's being displayed properly in iOS 7.

navigationController.isNavigationBarHidden returns NO.

Why is iOS 8 doing this?

Answer 1

Try this

Add below code in didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation

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

EDIT
NO NEED TO WRITE CODE IN ALL VIEW CONTROLLER
Set View controller-based status bar appearance to NO in plist and add below code in root view controller's viewDidLoad

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