How to Hide the Status Bar in a Swift iOS App

How do I hide the status bar in a Swift iOS app?

You really should implement prefersStatusBarHidden on your view controller(s):

Swift 3 and later

override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
    return true
}

Hide Status Bar in iOS 13

Step 1 :- add permission

Step 2 :- add the below code in desired view controller to hide the status bar .

override var prefersStatusBarHidden: Bool {
     return true
}

NOTE :- if you don't set constrain properly after the hidden true / false you will have design issues , so take care about it ...:)

   override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)
        navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = true
    }

    override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {

How to hide a status bar in iOS?

Add the following code to your view controller:

    [self performSelector:@selector(setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate)];
} else {

hide status bar swift 4

You probably found your own solution to this already, but I got it working this way:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    // Sets the status bar to hidden when the view has finished appearing
    let statusBar: UIView = UIApplication.shared.value(forKey: "statusBar") as! UIView
    statusBar.isHidden = true
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    // Sets the status bar to visible when the view is about to disappear
    let statusBar: UIView = UIApplication.shared.value(forKey: "statusBar") as! UIView
    statusBar.isHidden = false
}

Cannot hide status bar in a specific view controller in iOS 11, Swift 4

In view controller where you want to hide the status bar,

In the viewWillAppear method, UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = true,

In the viewWillDisAppear method, UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = false


Hide statusbar during splash screen

This is updated for Swift 3 of Xcode 8.3.3

In your Info.plist add the following key:

Then in your AppDelegate file add the following in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions section:

func application(_application:UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool { 
      UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = false
      return true 
}

That should sort out your problem.

You can also configure the launch colour in your project Build Settings if this is a problem for you:

Hope that helps!

How to hide the app status bar

Turns out I was previously compensating for the status bar being there with:

webView.scrollView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 20, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)

changed the top value to 0 and along with the 5 steps in the question and that has worked.

Hide status bar in all view controllers - IOS

Go to your Info.plist file and add a new attribute:

View Controller based status bar appearance and set it to NO.

Then go to App Delegate and replace your method to this:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.

        UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = true
        return true
    }
