8 years ago Since iOS 7 it's not recommended to remove the status bar, since it's usually half transparent and has content behind it. This is not planned to be implemented in snapshot as of now

8 years ago The iTunes Connect Developer Guide still states "Don’t include the device status bar in your screenshots". I don't think this is outdated because that sentence is also included in the iPad Pro section which has been added just recently.

8 years ago Check out the section about the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, you can't even upload apps without a statusbar according to the docs. They have it in the Pro section, but it seems like a Copy&Paste error, since the listed resolutions don't include the one without a status bar

fastlane is now a mono repo, you can read more about the change in our blog post. All tools are now available in the fastlane main repo :rocket:
Besides using SSM to manipulate the simulator to show a "perfect" status bar, there is another way to process the screenshots for the App Store, namely to obscure the status bar area. The free utility Status Barred offers this option. It would be nice to have a post-processing step in snapshot to implement something similar.
