Remove / Collapse bar at bottom of iOS simulator - ios

Question

I can successfully run tests on the iOS simulator using webdriver, the only concern that I have is that there is a bar at the bottom of the screen which prevents the whole screen from displaying. It is not causing tests to fail, just wondering if there is a way to remove/collapse it so that the whole screen displays.

If you are using Uitabbar then you can use:
[self hideTabBar:your tabbarcontroller];//call to hide the tabbar;
[self showTabBar:your tabbarcontroller];//call to show the tabbar;
- (void)hideTabBar:(UITabBarController *) myTabbarController
{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
for(UIView *myView in myTabbarController.view.subviews)
{
if([myView isKindOfClass:[UITabBar class]])
{
[myView setFrame:CGRectMake(myView.frame.origin.x, 480,
myView.frame.size.width,
myView.frame.size.height)];
}
else
{
[myView setFrame:CGRectMake(myView.frame.origin.x,
myView.frame.origin.y,
myView.frame.size.width, 480)];
}
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
- (void)showTabBar:(UITabBarController *) tabbarcontroller
{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
for(UIView *view in tabbarcontroller.view.subviews)
{
if([view isKindOfClass:[UITabBar class]])
{
[view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, 431, view.frame.size.width,
view.frame.size.height)];
}
else
{
[view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y,
view.frame.size.width, 431)];
}
}
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
