I have a UINavigationController in my AppDelegate with a RootViewController that has a UITableView. On startup, the status bar changes its color to the color of the navigation bar. When I colored my navigation bar to orange, this is what the status bar is looking like:

It seems that my navigation bar is shifted to the top a little bit. It appears that the navigation controller does not recognize the status bar. How can I fix this issue?

The only thing I have in my app is an AppDelegate and an empty RootViewController. My `application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions` is:

```
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
RootViewController *rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"RootViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
[navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;

```

My IB file for RootViewController just has an empty view. 

Nothing unusual. I'm pretty experienced with iOS and that's how I've been doing it every single time. I have no idea what is different this time.

Could someone please advise me? Thanks
