UITableView overlaps status bar on iOS7 beta 4

Question

Here is a UITableView that worked fine in iOS6 overlapping the status bar in iOS7. What is the best way to solve this problem? Using iOS7 beta 4. This behavior existed since beta 1.

If you're happy to have the "Language" section title to not overlap but don't mind the content overlapping once you scroll past it you can try this in your ViewController's viewDidLoad:

[self.tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 
                                       self.tableView.contentInset.left, 
                                       self.tableView.contentInset.bottom, 
                                       self.tableView.contentInset.right)];

One answer is described here https://devforums.apple.com/message/830042#830042 (yes, you need to be a paid developer to access it). All answers are various levels of hackery. Given how bad this situation is, there will probably be a different solution in the final version.

As per the rant thread (https://devforums.apple.com/thread/197429?tstart=0 "We all are royally screwed!!!") I do really think Apple should be using its own resources for beta testing rather than leaning on its vendors. In a FOSS project we would call this a community, but Apple is closed so we are vendors.

Starting with iOS 7, this is the expected behavior for a UITableView that's managed by a UITableViewController which is not inside a UINavigationController.
