ios - How to hide status bar in UIImagepickercontroller?

Question

I am new to iOS development. I am trying to hide status bar in UIImagePickerController. Whenever I click on "Take photo", status bar appears. It doesn't hide. I want status bar to be hidden only in UIImagePickerController.

Here is my code,

- (IBAction)takePhoto:(UIButton *)sender
{
    UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    picker.delegate = self;
    picker.allowsEditing = YES;
    picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    [self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
}


- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker     didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{   
    [self statusBar:YES];
    UIImage *chosenImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
    self.imageView.image = chosenImage;
    [picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];

}


- (void)imagePickerControllerDidCancel:(UIImagePickerController *)picker
{
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:NULL];
}


-(void)statusBar:(BOOL)status
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:status];
}

How to hide the status bar on UIImagePickerController?

Answer 1

This worked fine for me:

- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
}

Edit: As of today i just found out that in your info.plist, if you just copy-paste view controller-based status bar appearance there it won't work ... you have to hit enter on a property, and scroll to the last one of them so you will have autocomplete to :view controller-based status bar appearance and an boolean, with no. I tried multiple times but it does not work just copying. Have a nice day.
