I am getting REALLY frustrated!!
I have tried every living possibility to get rid of the UIStatusBar at the top of my app...
I have tried:
Setting Status Bar to "None" in IB
Running [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; on application launch AND in each scene.
Going to the .plist and changing the value for Status Bar Hidden at Startup: YES
Setting that same value on the home page for the target
Setting - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
} in the app delegate
Literally none of this works... It still shows up on all of my views, and it is SUPER frustrating
Thanks again :)
Side note: I'm in xcode 5, developer beta iOS 7 beta 6, but this also happens on my old ios6 and xcode 4 apps
Please try this
//viewDidload
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]) {
// iOS 7
[self prefersStatusBarHidden];
[self performSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
} else {
// iOS 6
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
}
// Add this Method
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
This code has been taken from this link
What I usually do is add two key-value properties to the Info.plist file.
The properties source code is:
You need to add a method to the view controller, and not to the app delegate as you write.
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
As something occured to me!!
for anyone else ,,
Make sure you are modifying the info.plist in the right *TARGET* :/
plus the accepted answer.

I've just upgraded to XCode 5 and iOS 7. I've read all the suggestions I can find, but still getting the status bar appearing over the top of my apps.
I've tried setting View controller-based status bar appearance to NO in my plist:
I've tried adding:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
// …
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)]) {
// iOS 7
[self prefersStatusBarHidden];
[self performSelector:#selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
} else {
// iOS 6
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationSlide];
}
// …
}
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
to my root view controller.
I don't know what else to try. Am I missing something obvious?
UPDATE
I've found that the status bar is only present on a couple of targets, while other targets running the same code don't have the status bar. I've checked all their plists... The only difference with the ones showing the status bar are that they display an advert bar at the top of the screen... I wonder if this could have something to do with it?
Use - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
} in all of your view controllers. Good Luck!
In application .plist add this key:
UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance and set it "NO"
I ended up deleting the plist file and copying one from another target that did work, and then changing the necessary values. The lists were identical, however this appeared to fix it. I had already tried clean building, reseting the simulator etc, so I guess it was a bug in the plist/xcode.
Try to add the next code in your root view controller:
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden { return YES; }
Less hacky solution is to insert
[application setStatusBarHidden:YES]
in AppDelegate.m in method
- (BOOL) application(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDirectory *)launchOptions
like Dipen Panchasara
his: [UIApplication sharedApplication] delivers exact the application given in the methodcall.
Because changing a method to allways return YES feels not right
I am working with Share kit for Facebook sharing. and using action sheet to open a Facebook popup. Its working fine on iOS 6 or previous version.
But in iOS 7 its automatically disappeared on action sheet button click.
Please guide me.
Thanks
Find the method -(void)showWebView in FBDialog.m (around line 410).
Replace this code
if (!window) {
window = [[UIApplication sharedApplication].windows objectAtIndex:0];
}
With this
if (window.windowLevel != UIWindowLevelNormal) {
for(window in [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows) {
if (window.windowLevel == UIWindowLevelNormal)
break;
}
}
I've tested it on iOS7 and iOS6, it works.
Have a nice day :)
I am working on iPhone application with both Portrait orientations support (Portrait and Portrait UpsideDown).
In earlier XCode4.5.1, I have resolved this issue by:
Setting rootViewController in AppDelegate
Mentioning shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation like this:
-(BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: (UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
return UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(toInterfaceOrientation); }
Mentioning supportedInterfaceOrientation in info.plist file
Now I am doing the same things for newer XCode but in iPhone simulator v6.0 its not supporting rotation properly.
I have tried with these methods as well:
-(BOOL) shouldAutorotate {
BOOL returnValue = NO;
int interface = [self preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation];
if(UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(interface)) {
// Code to handle portrait orientation
returnValue = YES;
}
else {
// Code to handle Landscape orientation
returnValue = NO;
}
return returnValue;
}
- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return (UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return (UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait |
UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
Please guide me how to support both the Portrait orientations for iOS > 4.3 all the versions.
Thanks in advance,

Why Did Orientation Change to Landscape Stop Working in iOS 6?
Starting in IOS 6.0 there are several orientation changes that stopped my app from rotation out of Portrait.
The fix for me, and the one applicable here, is that you must setRootViewController on the window in your AppDelegate. The earlier answer offers several suggestions that are all correct, but misses the one item that was relevant for me.
In application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, after:
[window makeKeyAndvisible]
or
[window addSubview: viewController.view];
You must replace with:
if([[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion floatValue] >= 6.0) {
[window setRootViewController:viewController];
} else {
[window addSubview: viewController.view];
(or [window makeKeyAndvisible])
}
You also need to add the new shouldAutoRotate instead of the depreciated shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation, but this was easier to find and less crucial for me.
Same with making sure all your orientations are specified in your .plist file.
I did not need to override supportedInterfaceOrientations because I am satisfied with the default orientations (all for iPad UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll, all but upside-down for iPhone UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown).
I have to admit, that when iOS 6 came around, I fiddled around with this until I got something to work, and then stopped. But, here is my guess:
I believe that shouldAutorotate is intended to be used in situations when you might want to dynamically change whether or not your app supports autorotation at all. I don't think it's intended for you to tell iOS which orientations you support (like the original shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: method). So, if your app supports any autorotation, I think you should just do this:
-(BOOL) shouldAutorotate {
return YES;
}
supportedInterfaceOrientations is where you are supposed to identify which orientations you support.
However, in that method, you're doing that differently than what I've been using (which might, or might not be a problem). I think you should use the mask constants, for this method. So, instead of this:
- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return (UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
}
use this:
- (NSUInteger) supportedInterfaceOrientations {
return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortraitUpsideDown);
}
Also, I don't think the preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation method is supposed to return more than one orientation. Preferred should probably just be one, such as:
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
Here is the relevant Apple documentation
Update:
The other thing you might try is using this method:
- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortraitUpsideDown);
}
in your App Delegate class. This method is optional, but can set the default values for which orientations your app supports, in case you don't specify them in all your View Controllers, or in the app's plist file. Since you don't show your plist file, and your other View Controllers, I can't tell if this might help, or not. But, it might be something to try.
I want to change the orientation of the app without changing the device orientation in iphone app.
I want to change my view from portraid mode to landscap mode programmatically.
And also want to know that will this be accepted by the apple store or not ?
Thanks
Now I got the solution from other that is as follow
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
when you add this line at that time one warning appear and for remove this warning just add bellow code on you implementation file..
#interface UIDevice (MyPrivateNameThatAppleWouldNeverUseGoesHere)
- (void) setOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation;
#end
and after that in bellow method just write this code if required..
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
But now want to know is this accepted by apple app store or not ?
thanks
use this line for programmatically change orientation...
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
and also when you add this line at that time one warning appear and for remove this warning just add bellow code on you implementation file..
#interface UIDevice (MyPrivateNameThatAppleWouldNeverUseGoesHere)
- (void) setOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation;
#end
and after that in bellow method just write this code if required..
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
// return NO;
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
i hope this help you..
:)
Add a class variable
Bool isInLandsCapeOrientation;
in viewDidLoad
set this flag to
isInLandsCapeOrientation = false;
Add the following function
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if (!isInLandsCapeOrientation) {
return (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait(interfaceOrientation));
}else {
return (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(interfaceOrientation));
}
}
To changing orientation from portrait to landscape, let it happens on a button action
- (IBAction)changeOrientationButtonPressed:(UIButton *)sender
{
isInLandsCapeOrientation = true;
UIViewController *viewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:NO];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
}
This works fine for me.
To change Orientation portraid mode to landscap mode use this code
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
use this code for programmatically change orientation...
[[UIDevice currentDevice] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
If you want to change the particular view only in landscape..then u can try the following in its viewDidLoad
float angle = M_PI / 2;
CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(angle);
[ [self.view] setTransform:transform];
The documentation describes the orientation property as being read-only, so if it works, I'm not sure you can rely on it working in the future (unless Apple does the smart thing and changes this; forcing orientation changes, regardless of how the user is currently holding their device, is such an obvious functional need).
As an alternative, the following code inserted in viewDidLoad will successfully (and somewhat curiously) force orientation (assuming you've already modified you shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation ):
if (UIDeviceOrientationIsPortrait([[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation]))
{
UIWindow *window = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
UIView *view = [window.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
[view removeFromSuperview];
[window addSubview:view];
}
Clearly, this does it if the user is currently holding their device in portrait orientation (and thus presumably your shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is set up for landscape only and this routine will shift it to landscape if the user's holding their device in portrait mode). You'd simply swap the UIDeviceOrientationIsPortrait with UIDeviceOrientationIsLandscape if your shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOirentation is set up for portrait only.
For some reason, removing the view from the main window and then re-adding it forces it to query shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation and set the orientation correctly. Given that this isn't an Apple approved approach, maybe one should refrain from using it, but it works for me. Your mileage may vary. But this also refers to other techniques, too. Check
SO discussion
I updated to Xcode 4.5 and am working with iOS6--a mistake I will definitely not make next time there's an update; it's been sort of nightmarish for somebody so new to iOS--and I've just noticed an app I'm working on is autorotating. I never noticed it autorotatin before the update, but it's also possible I just didn't rotate the phone while testing, so I can't be sure. I've added the following code to the main UIViewController and it's still rotating:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
return NO;
}
Is this the right way to disable autorotation? If it is, then maybe there's some change in iOS6 and I'll have to wait until the full release to find out. But if I've gotten it wrong, what code should I use instead?
Thanks, as always, for your help.
EDIT: Here's the code I changed it to, but it's still rotating. Have I gotten it wrong?
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:
(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
{
return YES;
}
else
{
return NO;
}
}
that is because there was never a success. You should choose one of the orientations.
Hold command and click on UIInterfaceOrientation you will see an enumeration of the possible options.
then you can test against those to decide your YES Scenario.
I may have originally misunderstood your problem. It seems that you may have been saying that your app is allowing rotation. but the code should disallow that.
I was thinking you were saying it was still firing the code. Trying to find a Yes
One thing to think about. is there may be more than one view controller available. perhaps your code is not being hit.
A couple of possible issues for this.
Your code is not even being used. because the view is being allocated as UIViewController as opposed to your custom view controller.
You code is being used but that View controller is not the one being asked about the Orientation. therefore that specific code is not being hit.
A bad build keeps putting the wrong assemblies onto the device.
Your solutions can be as follows.
Ensure your code is the one being allocated. Either there is a direct alloc on your custom class. or the xib file is inflating it. Check out the Identity Inspector when you have your xib file open. select your View Controller and ensure that custom class is set to your class type
Look at the hierarchy. what other view controllers are there. Perhaps one of those are telling the app it can autorotate to any orientation.
Find your "DerivedData" folder and remove it entirely. Sometimes this works from the organizer. other times you need to delete directly off the disk. Then clean and build again.
Also another solution could be as simple as setting the settings in the Project file.
Select your project file from the file browser and you will see the iPad and iPod settings in the summary. You can "UnPress" buttons for the orientations that you want to disallow. and any view controllers that you do not otherwise code orientation into. will use these by default.
My apologies for the confusion.
Update
I commonly use this code to handle my autorotation.
It not only differentiates the ipad from the other ios devices, but it also forwards the request onto presented controllers so a view that is shown modal may respond how it wants.
Orientation is a pain when you dont understand it :)
// Detect iPad
#define IS_IPAD() ([[UIDevice currentDevice] respondsToSelector:#selector(userInterfaceIdiom)] ? \
[[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad : NO)
// Set preferred orientation for initial display
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation{
if (IS_IPAD()){
return UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
}
else {
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
}
// Return list of supported orientations.
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations{
if (self.presentedViewController != nil){
return [self.presentedViewController supportedInterfaceOrientations];
}
else {
if (IS_IPAD()){
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight;
}
else {
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll;
}
}
}
// Determine iOS 6 Autorotation.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate{
UIDeviceOrientation orientation = [UIDevice currentDevice].orientation;
// Return yes to allow the device to load initially.
if (orientation == UIDeviceOrientationUnknown) return YES;
// Pass iOS 6 Request for orientation on to iOS 5 code. (backwards compatible)
BOOL result = [self shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:orientation];
return result;
}
// handle iOS 5 Orientation as normal
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation{
// Return YES for supported orientations
if (self.presentedViewController != nil){
return [self.presentedViewController shouldAutorotate];
}
else {
if (IS_IPAD()){
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}
else {
return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait);
}
}
}
Rotation APIs have changed in iOS6. The new API's are apparently supposed to be opt in however they seem to be enabled for all debug builds on simulator or device. To register for the new API calls throw something like this in your APP Delegates didFinishLoading method.
//Register for new API rotation calls
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:YES forKey:#"UIApplicationSupportedInterfaceOrientationsIsEnabled"];
At the heart of the rotation changes are two methods (theres a third but Im still figuring this out myself)
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
You need to override these methods in your windows rootViewController. This means you need to subclass UINavigationController or UITabBarController if either is your root controller (this seems bizarre to me, but Apple says Jump).
Now if all you want to do is keep your app in portrait implement the two methods and you're golden.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return NO;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait;
}
Note that apple has further added to the confusion by adding interface orientation masks, ie. UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait != UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait. If you return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait instead the behaviour will be different. Also you can combine masks the same way you combine orientations so if you wanted to support both portrait orientations you could use.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
return YES;
}
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortraitUpsideDown;
}
That should work for forcing a portrait orientation. Now if you if you want do do something like allow a child controller to use a different orientation I have no clue.
A very simple way to handle autorotation in both iOS6 and iOS5 is to use supportedInterfaceOrientations & shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation. There are some macros to make it just a line of code. UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape & UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape.
I discovered UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape & UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait by auto-completion in xCode. It is not in the Apple docs about autorotation.
Add this code block to your root ViewController to force it to support only landscape mode.
//iOS6 code to support orientations
- (NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape);
}
//iOS5 code to support orientations
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation
{
return (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(orientation));
}
For iOS6 you can use the following to detect orientation:
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscape
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeRight
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortraitUpsideDown
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAllButUpsideDown
UIInterfaceOrientationMaskAll
For iOS5 and below you can use the following to detect orientation:
UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape (A macro)
UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait
UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscapeRight
UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscapeLeft
UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortraitUpsideDown
