IOS 7 hide status bar

Hi guys.

If you will build your game on IOS 7 you will probably note that status bar is not hidden, event if you have selected "hide status bar" on player build settings.

Here is quick fix for this.

Open iPhone_View.mm file and add this function

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
3. {
4.     return YES;
5. }
6.  

to the UnityViewController implementation



I sure Unity will fix this shortly, but in the meantime this will work until Unity fix.

 

Good find and thanks for sharing!

 

Just ran into this issue.
Thanks lacost!

 

Just noticed this seems to be fixed in 4.2.1, yeay!

4.2.1 release notes

"iOS: Fixed status bar appearance on iOS 7."

 

You can also edit info.plist and add a new line:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. View controller-based status bar appearance    Boolean    NO
3.  

 

Set the value UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO in your Info.plist, this should suffice.

 

Cool info.

Is there a way to toggle the status bar on/off in unity for IOS 6 +.

My use case is that I would like for the user to have the option to see the battery life while the game is playing. Being able to Hide/Display the status bar would be great.

Cheers
