I want to hide the status bar for specific view controllers, not for all. then I tried this,

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; in the `.AppDelegate.m` inside the `didfinishlaunchwithoption`  but it didn't work. and also it is deprecated.

- (BOOL) prefersStatusBarHidden{
    return YES;
}

Try the code below in your view controller.
Try the following method without deprication warnings:

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:NO];

}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:NO];
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
}

Update for iOS 9
Add the following code in your viewController for hiding status bar.

- (BOOL) prefersStatusBarHidden {
    return YES;
}

Only the top-level view controller gets to say whether the status bar is hidden. Your prefersStatusBarHidden is not consulted because your view controller is not the top-level view controller — it has some kind of parent view controller which is in charge of the status bar.

Add below code to your view controller..

 - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden {

   return NO;
}

If you change the return value for this method, call the setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate method.

For childViewController, To specify that a child view controller should control preferred status bar hidden/unhidden state, implement the childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden method.

Go to info.plist and add two attributes if not present. set "Status bar is initially hidden" to "YES" and set "UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance" to "YES". This will hide status bar for your app. 

-(BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
    return YES;
}

and call this method where you want,For example from viewDidLoad

[self prefersStatusBarHidden];
