Staus bar re-appears upon using image ui picker in IOS 8.1.3

[Mark-Leck]

I am using this addon to completely hide the status bar at boot which it does an excellent job of doing - But as soon as the ui image picker is accessed it re-appears. using hide() only adds to the problems as my content starts getting pushed 20px down the page upon 'each' image selection. Is there anyway you can add a fix for this so that the ui image picker never triggers the status bar to appear?

Thanks in advance.
