UIImagePickerController not always Fullscreen (strange Statusbar behavior)

Question

i need a UIImagePickerCOntroller, so that the User can take some photos. This is my Code:

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex{

    UIImagePickerController * imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    imagePicker.delegate = self;
    imagePicker.showsCameraControls = YES;
    imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
    imagePicker.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;


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

}

For the first time i open the UIImagePickerController everything works fine! But for the Second, third... time i always get this:

enter image description here

As you can see the Camera Controls above gets cut. It looks like the StatusBar is the Problem. I tried everything like:

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

or

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

But nothing worked. Maybe an Apple Bug?

Try this :

Go to Info.Plist
Set Status bar is initially hidden YES
Set View controller-based status bar appearance NO

@Davis still you found the status bar ? – Mayur Prajapati Apr 01 '14 at 09:54
There is no statusbar when i open the UIImagePickerController, but still the black area like in the screenhot above...maybe the statusbar isn´t the problem.. – Davis Apr 01 '14 at 09:56
May be you haven't removed status bar from xib – Mayur Prajapati Apr 01 '14 at 09:57
In my xib the statusBar is set to "None", this should be right i hope^^ – Davis Apr 01 '14 at 10:01
Try this last : - (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated { [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; } – Mayur Prajapati Apr 01 '14 at 10:04

Implement - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden in your view controller and return YES or NO based on the current conditions. When you want to hide/show, call - (void)setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate on your view controller.
