Status bar in IOS weird behaviour

Question

I have a splash screen that fades into the main screen with animation. I have set the UIstatusbar style to Light from General settings of the Project and also set "View controller-based status bar appearance" in info.plist to NO.

All the views and images start from y = 0, i.e the TOP. The status bar looks like this and i am not able to debug the reason.

Status bar issue

I have not written any additional code in view controller. Although i have tried the few of these but they dont seem to work

-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]) {
        [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];
    }
}

or making the statusbar hide = NO and setting style after animation end. None of these seem to work. Any pointers will be helpful.

[UPDATED]: I have created a new view controller and embedded it in a navigation controller. It still happens on all the view controllers that i add new.

View controller with new Navigation bar

Yes, it happens , but only in iPhone 6 and above. on iPhone 5S and below it looks fine — ankit_rck, May 13 '15 at 05:09
I think status bar not able to identify the width of the device. Have you set width 320 forcefully anywhere? — iPhone, May 13 '15 at 05:12
@iPhone: no. Actually even if i create a new view controller and just run it, i am facing the same issue. All the properties in attribute inspecter are inferred. — ankit_rck, May 13 '15 at 05:16
@ankit_rck i think you have selected 3.5 or 4 as Size while at design time. — Ashok Londhe, May 13 '15 at 05:29
Add Launch screen in your app for iPhone 6 and 6+ & Tell me the happy result... :) you may set nothing to Launch screen for test only — M Zubair Shamshad, May 13 '15 at 08:40

Reset simulator settings that will do the trick

Edit 1

First clear that is it a code a error or SDK error if it is same in all project then it is SDK problem and if it is in only one project then it's a code error

Nothing happens, i am facing the same issue on iphone 6 device as well. Suprisingly it does not occur on iphone 5S and lower devices – ankit_rck May 13 '15 at 05:08
what it looks like in landscape mode ? – Varun Naharia May 13 '15 at 05:13
just one project with this and new view controllers. Existing view controllers are working fine – ankit_rck May 13 '15 at 06:04
I think your new view controller having same problem is child of `'this'` main controller, is it ??? have you tried creating new view controller that comes from `'working fine'` view controller ?? try to delete `"this"` view controller and create once again if that works then note down all the properties and `"ctrl-z"` to get old view controller and make the note down change – Varun Naharia May 13 '15 at 06:41

Status bar is displaying absolutely fine.. The issue is there with your view controller implementation..

Even if i create a new blank view controller and just run it, i am facing the same issue. All the properties in attribute inspecter are inferred. – ankit_rck May 13 '15 at 05:18
Are you setting frame of window anywhere in your code? – Nilesh Patel May 13 '15 at 05:19
Are you setting any static frame anywhere in your code? – Nilesh Patel May 13 '15 at 05:48
