Displaying TableView under status bar?

Hi, I'm working on the blog reader app and all code works fine. However, my tableview controller displays over the status bar at the top of the screen - i.e. they overlap.

Does anyone know how to get the view to display underneath the status bar at the top of the screen?

Thanks in advance! I've searched forums all over the web and can't find a solution that works for me. I'm using xCode 5 and simulating my app on iOS 7.

I haven't done that project yet, so I can't say firsthand (and don't know the specifics of the project), but did you put the tableview controller inside of a UINavigationController? That should put a toolbar up top and take care of the status bar overlap. If you don't want a toolbar, you can put a "dummy" cell that's the size of the status bar at the top of your UITableView to avoid overlaps with your data.
