Statusbar get enabled when presenting the photo album in IOS 7` - uiimagepickercontroller

Question

In my app I don't show the status bar.
In IOS 7 I had to add "View controller-based status bar appearance" to the info plist, which is fine, but when I use the following code:
imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
imagePicker.sourceType = (sender == self.chooseImageBtn && [UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera]) ? UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera :
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
The status bar is shown again, even though I add the following code:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];

Answer 1

This problem comes when you open the imagepicker because the status bar is shown forcfully there.
I faced the same problem.
Here is my solution. put this in the viewWillAppear of the view controller from which you are opening the image pickerview
-(void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewWillAppear:YES];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
}

Answer 2

I fought with this for a long time as well. This is what finally got rid of it for me.
- (void) navigationController:(UINavigationController *) navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *) viewController animated:(BOOL)animated
{
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]) {
[self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];
viewController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = navigationController.topViewController.view.frame.size;
}
}
Also, in your Info.plist, add:
View controller-based status bar appearance: NO
Hope that helps.
