Any idea of how you would do this programatically within the app? If I want to hide and show the status bar on certain events?

*info.plist add key and value.
key is "View controller-based status bar appearance".
value is 'NO"
and *info.plist saved.
run.

@moohyu - do I need that in addition to the code above? I still have a white bar at the bottom of my app after trying this... thanks!

Yeah not working for me yet either - there seems to be more variable(s) at play here or something. Ugh - I just want to hide the thing!

Also - anyone have any luck getting something like this applied to the InAppBrowser webview? Seems like that status bar is obeying a different set of rules. At first stab these snippets don't seem to work on the CDVInAppBrowser.m file.
