You need to select your initial view controller (either UINavigationController, UITabbarController, or a simple UIViewController ...). Make sure you select the controller itself, not the root view of the controller.
Then, in the inspector in the right pane, you can specify whether you want to display the status bar.

Select the source controller in your storyboard, and each controller connected to it should automatically hide the status bar.
If your storyboard has βstandaloneβ controllers, you will have to do the same for each of them.
