Hiding status bar completely

Question

I hide the status bar in applicationDidFinishLaunching using

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES animated:NO];

That works fine except the status bar is there while the app is loading. Meaning, when the default.png is displayed, I see the status bar. Is there a way to have the status bar not show at all?
