StatusBarHidden not working
<p>Stumped on this one.  I am using a section of code posted here to rotate a view into landscape.  Rotate, sizing and animations are working great, but when the view rotates, the status bar hangs around as a thin gray strip, which is the same size as the hidden status bar.</p>

<p>Here is the code:</p>

<pre><code>[UIView beginAnimations:@"View Flip" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.25];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];         
if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) {      
        self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
        self.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degreesToRadian(90));
        self.view.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 480, 320);
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
