Status Bar Not Hiding

[RegularKid]

Hi,

I'm having a problem where my application isn't hiding the iPhone status bar correctly. The application was built on SDK 7 using the "View Based Application" template in XCode. Both the window and view controller .xib attributes show "None" for "Status Bar" inside IB AND there is a flag in my Info.plist labeled "UIStatusBarHidden" which is set to "true".

However, even with all of this when the application starts up ( both in the Simulator and on the device ) the grey iPhone status bar is visible.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Is the "Value Type" of the UIStatusBarHidden line in your Info.plist set to Boolean? If so, you should see a checkbox in the Value column to the right of UIStatusBarHidden.

To set it, right click on UIStatusBarHidden (in Xcode while viewing Info.plist) and select Value Type/Boolean.

If you're editing your plist file by hand, the field should be <true />, not <key>TRUE</key>.

It sounds like you're doing everything right though.

Ah! Genius Yup, wasn't set to be boolean type.

Thanks, Groucho!

I spent an hour one day pounding my head against the wall to figure that out.
