How to remove the status bar (in IOS7) ?

[iesta]

I added this to the end of AMSlideOutNavigationController.m :

  - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden  {  return YES; }

That removes the status bar in the children views but not in the slideout menu.

Do you know a way to remove it everywhere ?

You can add a new property in your app's plist, named View controller-based status bar appearanceand set it to NO. You can then show or hide the status bar like this:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];

Thank you but it's not working for me (ipad app, xcode 5).

I have tried many things... but cannot find a solution...

Hi @iesta, sorry for the delay. I tried to hide the status bar using

  - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden  {  return YES; }

or the method described above. The status bar disappears, you only need to adjust the Y offset in the slide menu with this option:

          AMOptionsTableOffestY: @0,

That looks like an empty header. With version 1.6 I made a small change in the header handling If you don't want a section header, instead of an empty string, pass nil to its title, like this:

[self.slideoutController addSectionWithTitle:nil];

This should remove that gap in the top.

Hi @iesta, any luck in hiding that header?

[iesta]

No :( I am pretty sure it is the statusbar. I will make some more tests...

Did you ever get this cleared up? How about trying AMOptionsTableOffsetY : @100,

This will push the header down by 100 points and verify beyond a doubt that you're really looking at a status bar and not a header.

If you still have it up top, then it's definitely not a header and something weird is going on. On the other hand, if it scoots down you need to verify that you're setting up your sections with a title of nil and not @"". When I set up the initial section (which you have to do) which I don't want to show up, if I use @"" for it's title I get a similar effect to what your screenshot shows. nil makes it go away entirely. Be careful that you're not only updating the iOS 6.0 options and then testing in iOS 7.0 (or vice-versa), I've made that mistake myself and wondered why the menu wasn't changing as I expected. There's two sets of options in the Sample app and it's easy to just kind of skim over them and not update things twice.

Please try out the option above and just verify that it is the statusbar you're seeing and we can figure out what heisenbug you may have found. ;-) I am really curious if the statusbar is somehow getting around the option to hide it so I'd like to get to the bottom of this one.

That was it :-) I am sorry i couldn't test that ealier but my client was making a lot of changes and i was quite busy... Thank you very much

Glad to hear that. Thanks @donaciano for your help.
