iOS7 Status Bar issue

Question

I have found many links for Status Bar issue in iOS 7 bt none of them helped much.

The issue is my application runs well in iOS6 but when I try to run it on iOS7, I want the iOS7 look and feel.

The status bar gels nicely with a UIViewController like below :

But for UINavigationController it goes black like below :

I managed to change the text-color of the statusBar using the following code in AppDelegate :

if ([[UIView appearance] respondsToSelector:@selector(setTintColor:)]) {
        [[UIView appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
    }

Also, my plist file has the following entry : View controller-based status bar appearance set to NO

and my AppDelegate has :

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];

I want the statusBar to take the Blue color when a NavigationController is loaded.

NOTE : I have used the following code for iOS7 support :

#if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED >= 70000
        self.edgesForExtendedLayout=UIRectEdgeNone;
#endif

Don't know if this caused the issue.

Answer 1

It works fine if you use different images. One for iOS7 (20px higher) and one for the others and set this image as background for your navBar.

Hope this help :)
