I built my app, it looked fine in the interface builder, it looked fine

  • 0

I built my app, it looked fine in the interface builder, it looked fine on my iPhone. The status bar was showing, so I went into “info.plist” and changed “status bar is initially hidden” to YES. Now when I run the app on my iPhone, buttons near the bottom of the screen have shifted up to what looks like the exact width of a status bar. Although in the storyboard, the buttons appear in the correct position.

If anyone has any input, it will be greatly appreciated. I was just about finished with the app, now I am running in circles trying to straighten this out… I hope someone can make some sense out of all this.

Thanks.

    The status bar is a pain in the butt. When you set it initially hidden; it shifts your entire view up 20 px to compensate, which makes a navigationController draw itself up inside the status bar, so you spend your time adding a 20 px y offset to everything.

    Yet, when it is turned off, your get a 20 px black space when you decide to hide the navigationBar in the future. It does, however, draw everything correctly.

    My advice: Unless your splash screen absolutely must have that extra 20 px, or you are opening with a movie, don’t hide the status bar.
