can't hide status bar in side view controller

[PadrePedro]

I cannot hide the status bar on the side view controller to hide (note white status bar at top).

I've tried calling: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:NO];

Setting this:

• (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden { return YES; }

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

I don't see how you can do this, except using the option to slide the status bar along with the center controller. But this is a trick I introduced (status bar screenshot)

[_revealController resetOption:PPRevealSideOptionsiOS7StatusBarFading];
[_revealController setOption:PPRevealSideOptionsiOS7StatusBarMoving];
