Remove status bar color from a single screen if its set in app delegate

Question

I am setting status bar colour in appdelegate class as below.

- (void)transitionToViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
                    withTransition:(UIViewAnimationOptions)transition
{
    self.window.rootViewController = viewController;

    //SET STATUS BAR COLOR
    if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"7.0"))
    {
        UIView *view=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, 20)];
        view.backgroundColor= [UIColor colorWithRed:0.96 green:0.96 blue:0.96 alpha:1.0];
        [self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:view];
    }
}

When I try to remove it from a single screen I am failing. It keeps the background colour as I set in appdelegate but removes texts. I want to remove also the background.

Here how I try to remove the status bar:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];

and status bar looks like this:

in info.plist add this View controller-based status bar appearance set YES

View controller-based status bar appearance = YES

viewcontroller based hidden set

Add method in your view controller.

Objective -C

- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}

Swift

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
    return true
}

Add the following to your Info.plist:

<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>

This also works (iOS7+):

override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -> Bool {
    return true
}

You also need to call:

setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()

in say viewDidLoad().

What is the objective c version? – birdcage May 18 '17 at 11:28
-(BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden{ return YES; } [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate]; – Ved Rauniyar May 18 '17 at 11:32
This is not helping. Because its hiding uistatusbar from the whole app. – birdcage May 18 '17 at 11:33
You just need to set No in other view controller -(BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden { return NO; } [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate]; – Ved Rauniyar May 18 '17 at 11:35
There are over 50 views, so I guess this is not the best way. – birdcage May 18 '17 at 11:36
