Summary:

There’s currently no way (that I know of) to get notified when the status bar gets shown or hidden. UIApplication provides 
UIApplicationWillChangeStatusBarFrameNotification and UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarFrameNotification, however those are only posted in response to orientation changes and during in-call status bar mode. They are not sent when the status bar gets shown or hidden.  

Expected Results:

Notifications like UIApplicationWillHideStatusBarNotification & UIApplicationDidHideStatusBarNotification or similar should be available. 

Notes:

UIViewController based status bar appearance together with implementing layoutSubviews solves the problem in most cases, however in certain scenarios the mentioned notifications are still required (certain full screen interfaces or a floating view that overlays the navigation controller view like the PSPDFKit annotation toolbar).
