Go to info.plist and add two attributes if not present. set "Status bar is initially hidden" to YES and set UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO. This will hide status bar for your app.

// for ios 7 
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
    return YES; 
}


// for ios 6
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated 
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; 
}

For iPad (iOS 7.0) need to put another value at Info.plist file.

UIStatusBarHidden boolean value YES.

I had the same issue recently. Be sure that you are targeting the correct view controller. Try to hide the status bar in the root view controller. Also, I´m implementing the method (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden (doc) in my UIViewControllers to hide the status bar. By using this method, you can forward the preferred configuration to a "child view controller". Also, this method works fine in UIViewControllers presented as modal.

That's because iOS 7 has changed the way it deals with the status bar.

Setting UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO on your app Info.plist should work.
