iOS status bar issue

[gianmichele]

Hey there.

I think I might be actually going blind, but I cannot seem to get the status bar on iOS to be hidden.

I've set the .plist "Status bar is initially hidden" to yes and added "View controller-based status bar appearance" to no, but it seems is not working.

The weird thing is that if I run the no-screen love the status bar is hidden while with everything else is visible. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Gianmichele

The status bar will be hidden on iOS if your window is either fullscreen or borderless (both set in either love.conf or love.window.setMode).

Thanks slime.

What's the purpose of fullscreen for mobile?

hiding the status bar ?

[gianmichele]

Well why I can understand the logic behind using borderless to hide the status bar, fullscreen I think might be confusing or non intuitive.

Before iOS 7, the status bar took some screen real-estate away from the app - so by hiding it the app's window would cover the entire screen.

I think you have to enable "exclusive" fullscreen mode in conf.lua to ensure that it hides the status bar.

Any fullscreen mode (or borderless set to true) should work fine.
