I have this app compiled for iOS 6.0 running on iOS 7.

I am trying to get rid of the status bar and I am almost there.

I have added this to info.plist

```
View controller-based status bar appearance = NO
Status bar is initially hidden = YES

```

I have added this code to the rootViewController

```
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
    return YES;

}

```

Everything is fine. The app loads without the status bar but as soon as I present the UIImagePickerController from the rootViewController the status bar is back, even after the picker dismisses. 

Yes, I have subclassed the UIImagePickerController and added the prefersStatusBarHidden to the class, just to see, but nothing changed.

How do I get rid of this abomination. Please save me.

---

EDIT: no, 

```
[self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];

```

is not working
