Getting rid of the ios status bar in UIImagePickerController

Question

I have a tab bar that calls a UIImagePickerController like so:

    UIImagePickerController *photo = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    photo.delegate = self;
    photo.allowsEditing = NO;
    photo.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;  

    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

    [self presentViewController:photo animated:YES completion:nil];

But the status bar remains even witht the setStatusBarHidden to YES.

Try by implementing the following delegate method:

- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController 
       didShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
                    animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
}

Please go through following code

- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated {

   if([navigationController isKindOfClass:[UIImagePickerController class]]&& ((UIImagePickerController*)navigationController).sourceType == UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera)
   {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
   }
}

how does this get called? – cdub Jul 22 '14 at 07:07
so it performs the code on behalf of the delegate object (uinavigationcontroller) but I still see a status bar in my uiimagepickercontroller – cdub Jul 22 '14 at 07:16

Go to your plist file in Xcode and this key to no

view controller-based status bar appearance' and set to NO., that did the trick for me
