Status bar hides in iOS 7 when UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance is enabled

[stevenp]

The default behavior on iOS 7 is UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance, which allows each view controller to determine the status bar behavior. In this default case, when the new window is created and shown for the hud, even though it is supposed to have "clearColor" as the background, it's opaque and it doesn't appear that there is any way to change that (at least that I've discovered so far).

The workaround is to set UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO in your Info.plist and manually control the status bar appearance in each view controller, but it would be nice if SVProgressHUD still worked with the new default behavior.

@stevenp Can you post a screen shot of this behavior?

I'm running into this issue as well the problem is with using the UIWindow for SVProgressHUD it always uses the UIStatusBarStyleDefault style which is black. The UIWindow is the top controller so it is the controller that is setting the StatusBarStyle. The only thing to do is the workaround that stevenp suggested, setting UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO and using [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent animated:YES] in each controller to set the style

Could SVProgressHUD set the UIWindow's rootViewController to a full-screen view controller with a backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]? This view controller could implement preferredStatusBarStyle.
