Black bar on IOS 7 - ipad

I have an iPad app. When I used it in iOS 5 or 6 its working fine and the UI also seems to be fine. But the same in iOS 7 a black bar on top, bottom, left and right of the screen appeared. Including on the splash screen.
I had tried it by hiding status bar of all views.But I cant fix the issue.
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
{
return YES;
}
Can any one know what is the reason?

The same thing happened to me as a result of downloading the latest version of Xcode
and all I had to do was adjust the frame of my view as it was altered during the download. It's so simple I didn't even think to try it.

How big are the bars? Is there any chance this is actually an iPhone retina app and this is iOS 7's new automatic scaling for the iPad's bigger display instead of the old '2x' mode?
Also, does it behave like this in the simulator and if so, can you post simulator shots of it running under iOS 6 and iOS 7?

UITabbar stretched in iOS 10 but not 11+

So I've been developing my app on iOS 11 and 12 for the past few weeks, but after testing on the iOS 10.3.3 iphone 7 simulator (and real iphone 7's), I just realized that the tab bar icons look really stretched for some reason.
They look fine on all phones iOS 11+
I followed the guidelines here: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/icons-and-images/custom-icons/
My image sizes are
#3x: 75x75
#2x: 50x50
#1x: 25x25
I've played around in storyboard and have no idea how to fix this. Any thoughts?
Ok, so it turns out I had imbalanced tab bar item insets.
Changing from this:
To this:
ended up fixing the issue. Not really sure why it doesn't work below iOS 11.

Xcode 7.1 iOS 9.1 Simulator transparent

I just recognized that I can see thru the iOS Simulator if an UIView is defined with (semi-) transparent content. But I can not make a screenshot of it, on the screenshot the effect is gone.
The (custom) navigation bar on top has alpha set to CGFloat(0.9).
Here a screenshot taken with an iPhone 6:
Zoom in and you can see thru the simulator window on Xcode. I assume this is a bug, or is it intended behavior of the OS X transparency effects? If it is intended, can I turn it off?
Ok, I have found the problem. Actually it is not a transparency effect but a display problem. I am using an iMac 27inch with an IPS LCD display, which suffers heavily from "screen burning". Xcode is standing on this position for hours so it burned in into the display. That's why I can not make a screenshot - it is a hardware problem.

Yeah this is going to be a hardware / screen problem. Should not translate to your app.

Top navigation is not coming properly - iPhone Apps must also run on iPad without modification, at iPhone resolution, and at 2X iPhone 3GS resolution

My App is iPhone only and it works great on iPhone device. It got rejected by Apple with below message:
iPhone Apps must also run on iPad without modification, at iPhone
resolution, and at 2X iPhone 3GS resolution
When I run my app on iPad it's cutting part of the navigator at the top. Attached is the screen print.
Anyone got any clue how to fix it?
I think you navigation bar is covered because its position is lower than the 20point reserved for the status bar. To check its position, click on the navigation item or bar, go to Size Inspector and under View, you will see the X & Y positions. Or you can set constraints for it. I hope this helps.
Actually I solved this problem long back but missed to update the solution here. I was getting this issue on iPad because it doesn't use status bar as like iPhone for iPhone app. So I did leave the status bar space at the top of the view controller. Also, this issue occurs only for standalone ViewController and if we use Navigation ViewController, issue is automatically resolved.

Black bar at the bottom after update to iOS 8

I have an app on the store and I started working on the update for iOS 8 a while ago, everything seemed to work fine except for this problem I'm having with the layouts. No matter what device I test the app on, there's always a black bar at the bottom (or the side on landscape mode).
Test on iPhone 5S
Test on iPhone 4S
Is this an issue with iOS 8? How can I solve it?
I had this same issue with the thin bar along one side when an iOS 8 device was rotated to landscape. I found the solution to this problem here: Building project with Xcode 6 (iOS 8 SDK) causes landscape rotation rendering issue on iPad
The fix I did was to go to MainWindow.xib, select the Window, then go to the Attributes inspector and select the two check boxes for Visible at Launch and Full Screen at Launch.

ios app not fitting iphone 5 screen

My ios app does not fit on iphone 5 screen. When I run the app, I can see blank space at the top and bottom of the screen. I have made the app compatible for both iphone sizes. But Since I have updated to the latest xcode, I am facing this issue. See screen shot. Can any one please help?
You probably may not have set your Default-568h image.
On the simulator make sure you have set to iPhone (Retina 4-inch).
You can do this by going simulator menu at the top go to Hardware->Device->iPhone (Retina 4-inch) that will change the phone simulator to the iPhone 5 version.

Try setting AutoresizingMask to your container views instead of assigning appFrame.
I have faced the same problem while moving to iOS 7.
Solution comes with AutoresizingMask. iOS 7 has full Screen layout for ViewControllers.
