I'm trying to create a slide out menu similar to GroupMe, where the menu slides out and so does the status bar. I've seen a bunch of slide out menu frameworks and tutorials, but none of them seem to move the status bar.
From what I've read (Moving status bar in iOS 7), you can do this by screenshotting the current screen and then positioning it on the edge, but GroupMe seems to do this without screenshotting the page.
I know they're not screenshotting it, because every now and then, the status bar will show that it's loading more data. Here are some pictures that illustarte it:

And if I turn off wifi while the slide out menu is still open:
I'm not sure how they're doing this, but I do know that when you re-open up the app when the slide out menu is still open, it shows a normal status bar that quickly disappears.
