HIdden status bar not working in iOS7

Solar2D iOS

I have built my app using the daily build as of today 2013-09-18 and use the following command to set the status bar to hidden in main: 

display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )

This is working fine if I build for iOS 6.1, however if I build for 6.1 when the application runs the status bar remains visible.

Anyone found a work around?

Try adding this to your build.settings:

UIStatusBarHidden = true

Thanks for the suggestion, however it did not work - the status bar appears when building with SDK iOS 7 beta… If I build using SDK 6.1 then it works fine.

Hmm.  I use both in my app, and it works on the live public iOS 7.

EDIT

Sorry I overlooked the fact that I built using 6.1

i am not sure but i think apple messed that up with ios 7.0?

that’s why corona keeps telling us that we should continue to build with ios 6.1 :slight_smile:

I have just created a new project and have the built.settings iphone table as:

iphone = { plist = { UIStatusBarHidden = true, UIPrerenderedIcon = true, } },

and when building with SDK 7.0 beta it doesn’t work. At a bit of a loss now…

Well that would make sense!

well, i just checked. apple messed it up with ios7.0.

also, i am experiencing some gamecenter issues.

<- still using 6.1 as for now

I’m still seeing the status bar even when building with 6.1. I’m deploying to an iOS 7 device using the final software released yesterday. Using the latest public build.

The engineers just fixed this.  It should be available in the next daily build.

This issue has been resolved and will be in daily build 1210.
