title: How do I fix the navigation bar item height in landscape on iOS 8?
body: <p>It seems to be a feature on iOS 8 that the status bar is hidden when in landscape mode. One can <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/25934854/79202">get the status bar back</a>, which is fine, but I actually have no objection to it being hidden except that the navigation bar in my app has the top few pixels cut off, as you can see in this simulator screenshot:</p>

  <p>See how the gear icon is right up against the top of the screen? It should have a little more breathing room than that.</p>
  
  <p>It's better if I restore the status bar, but I wouldn't mind leaving it out if I could get the navigation bar to have a little more space. Studying the Messages app on iOS 8, I see that the nav bar height is the same as what I'm seeing, but the compose button gets smaller. How do I update my app to reduce the size of the navigation bar items in landscape?</p>
