http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18294872/ios-7-status-bar-back-to-ios-6-style
AND:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/transitionguide/Bars.html

So where did you read this ? 

Note:  I have never written a native iOS app, let alone in IOS7.

creators of native ios apps do have the ability to force the statusbar to 
behave in the 'old' way (opaque and not overlaying the app) and i'm sure i've 
read somewhere that adobe are working on a fix for this in the air player.... 
so an sdk change may not be necessary.

perhaps alex could confirm (or refute) this?
