My iPhone app requires that the status bar be hidden at all times. This is generally easy to do, and it works if I only run the app on an iPhone. However, if I run the app on an iPad, the status bar still appears at the top of the content. So, how do I make sure the status bar is hidden no matter device my iPhone-only app is running on? I'm currently doing the following in my code:

Calling this method for each view controller(I actually created a category on UIViewController that implements this automatically for any VC, but it's basically the same as writing it in each vc file):

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

```

I also set "status bar is initially hidden" to YES and "View controller-based status bar appearance" to NO in Info.plist. I've also tried detecting which device is being used and calling 

```
[UIApplication sharedApplication]setSetStatusBarHidden:YES]

```

in the AppDelegate, but no luck there either. So, I believe I've tried just about everything that one would think to try.
