I am trying to determine if the StatusBar is being displayed when my iDevice is in landscape. I have overridden viewWillTransitionToSize so that I can recalculate the view layout, but cannot find any property to show StatusBar status:
self.status.statusBarHeight
always returns 20, and only the description seems to have anything useful.
self.topLayoutGuide.description
returns
_UILayoutGuide: 0x7fdaa16aec20; frame = (0 0; 0 20); hidden = YES; layer = <CALayer: 0x7fdaa16ac650>>
If the device is about to rotate to landscape and
_UILayoutGuide: 0x7fdaa16aec20; frame = (0 0; 0 0); hidden = YES; layer = <CALayer: 0x7fdaa16ac650>>
If the device is about to rotate to portrait.
The fact the the heights returned are incorrect leads me to believe they are not updated properly until after the function.
