+Hiding at startup
+-----------
+
+During runtime you can use the StatusBar.hide function below, but if you want the StatusBar to be hidden at app startup, you must modify your app's Info.plist file.
+
+Add/edit these two attributes if not present. Set **"Status bar is initially hidden"** to **"YES"** and set **"View controller-based status bar appearance"** to **"NO"**. If you edit it manually without Xcode, the keys and values are:
+
+
+	<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
+	<true/>
+	<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
+	<false/>
+
