Hide iPhone status bar

Hi folks,

today something very short and simple. There are two ways to hide your status bar within your iPhone app:

  1. Programmatically 
    ...
//use this whereever you want
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES
                                   animated:NO];
...
  2. Configuration of your Info.plist (seen in SDK 3.1.2)
    Just add a new line to your "your project name"-Info.plist file and select "Status bar is initially hidden" like in the picture below.

Thats pretty all! Have fun,
Andreas
