Manipulating the iOS status bar

[TJ]

Hey all,

I've been trying to manipulate the iOS status bar and have been running into issues. As a starting point I'm trying to port this Objective-C code into NativeScript:

UIApplication* sharedApplication = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
[sharedApplication setStatusBarHidden:YES];

I've been able to use console.log( UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarStyle ) to see the current style, but UIApplication.sharedApplication().setStatusBarStyle is undefined, and I'm not sure why.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
TJ

Got this one on my own :)

UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarHidden = true;

And this in info.plist:

<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>

Just as an fyi, I found it confusing that you're expected to call “set” Objective-C methods with property access in JavaScript. I had assumed a corresponding “set” method would be present.

Hi,

When a property is exposed in NativeScript for iOS the underlying getter and setter methods are shadowed. This is primarily for the getters usually having the same name as the properties. We are currently writing iOS specific documentation that will elaborate on the problem.

Thank you for your interest in NativeScript. Your feedback is highly appreciated.
