Question

I gave my iPhone app a black status bar by adding the UIStatusBarStyleOpaqueBlack / UIStatusBarStyle to the Info.plist file. It works great most of the time. The black status bar shows when the app is running and when the Default.png is being shown.

The issue is when I quit the app by pressing the home button, the status bar becomes a white block while the iPhone’s standard quit animation is taking place. I haven’t seen this issue with any other apps that use a black status bar.

Am I missing something?

Set the background color of your window to black.

[self.view.window setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
