I have the same problem, i.e. when the default.png is loaded the statusbar is not shown. Despite the first line in my app being…
display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar)
the status bar is shown briefly between the default image being shown and the app starting. Why is that? It’s ANNOYING!
I’ve also got this in my settings.build file
settings =
{
iphone =
{
plist=
{
UIStatusBarHidden = true,
UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true,
UIPrerenderedIcon = true,
},
},
}
