Hi. I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent this behavior in iOS? The notification bar is transparent and overlaying on the game screen. Looks really odd.



I'm using Xcode 5.0.1
In the target's General tab under Deployment Info is the only place I can see to change anything, but currently it is set to:
Main Interface: MainWindow
Device Orientation portrait / upside down portrait
Status Bar style Default
Hide during application launch is checked

Thanks!!

Unfortunately this looks like an iOS 7 issue I might just have to live with. I have looked at a bunch of different articles on this and they are all well beyond my current understanding of Xcode.
If anyone figures out either how to hide the notification bar in iOS7 or adjust the app's view controller to give the notification bar some room I'd be very happy. Not sure why Apple did this. Who would want the notification/status bar drawn over the app?

Eureka!
Easy way to fix this (this was way too hard to find)
Open the <yourprojectname>-info.plist file in Xcode
Right click on some white space and select Add Row
In the key drop down select "View controller-based status"...
Set the value to NO if it doesn't default to this.
Clean project, build, run, and viola no notification/status bar!!

This solution was so easy, all the other methods were very involved.
Glad I found it and hope it helps someone else!
