Solution 1

You have to do 2 things. First is to open your info.plist and set "View controller-based status bar appearance" = NO

And the second is to add this lines to application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 7)
{   
    self.window.clipsToBounds = YES;
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque];     

    UIInterfaceOrientation orientation = [UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation;
    if(orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || orientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
    {
        self.window.frame =  CGRectMake(20, 0,self.window.frame.size.width-20,self.window.frame.size.height);
        self.window.bounds = CGRectMake(20, 0, self.window.frame.size.width, self.window.frame.size.height);
    } else
    {
        self.window.frame =  CGRectMake(0,20,self.window.frame.size.width,self.window.frame.size.height-20);
        self.window.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 20, self.window.frame.size.width, self.window.frame.size.height);
    }
}

Solution 2

Read this article: http://www.appcoda.com/customize-navigation-status-bar-ios-7/

#define UIColorFromRGB(rgbValue) [UIColor colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0 green:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255.0 blue:((float)(rgbValue & 0xFF))/255.0 alpha:1.0]  

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:UIColorFromRGB(0x067AB5)];

but working fine... but when i rotate screen that was not changing based on screen orientation

[Stanislav]

You should register for statusbarorientationchanged notification and use the same code over there. I can not write the app instead of you, I already gave you an answer, so you should get it's point and use it accordingly to your needs.

Excellent link for those devs putting images on their UINavigationBar.

Sadly didn't do much for my iPad application. Good link though

[mindbomb]

actually the key you have to add to info.plist is: UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance = NO

For some reason this isn't working for me, storyboard, ios7. Added that line to AppDelegate didFinishLaunching
