How do they have a translucent status bar on the new Google Maps App? From what I have been trying, setting:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent animated:YES];
Doesn’t do the job.
I would like to set my iPhone app status bar to translucent in a way that the view behind it could change rather than a static image.
You need to set the
wantsFullScreenLayoutproperty on your UIViewController to yes as well as setting the the status bar to translucent.See the UIViewController class reference for full details.
