I am late for this Answer, but i just want to share what i did, which is basically the easiest solution

First of all-> Go to your info.plist File and add Status Bar Style->Transparent Black Style(Alpha of 0.5)

Now ,here it Goes:-

Add this code in your AppDelegate.m

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { //Whatever your code goes here if(kDeviceiPad){ //adding status bar for IOS7 ipad if (IS_IOS7) { UIView *addStatusBar = [[UIView alloc] init]; addStatusBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 20); addStatusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1]; //change this to match your navigation bar [self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:addStatusBar]; } } else{ //adding status bar for IOS7 iphone if (IS_IOS7) { UIView *addStatusBar = [[UIView alloc] init]; addStatusBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 20); addStatusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0 green:0 blue:0 alpha:1]; //You can give your own color pattern [self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:addStatusBar]; } return YES; }
