iOS status bar cleaning one year later

Dr. Drang revisits his scripts to clean status bars from screenshots of iOS devices and shows the progress he made over the past year.

In the intervening 14 months, I’ve done a fair amount of improving, refactoring, and extending of the scripts, and I’ve kept my mouth shut about it. But since a year is a lifetime on the internet, I feel no guilt about breaking my vow of silence.

It is really difficult to do that on iOS, I can say that as I tried myself. Amazes me to see the evolution of the script — and the doctor's dedication, but there's a lot of ground to cover until a single solution to fit all possibilities exist. But there's hope, perhaps even from Apple as while recording your iOS devices with QuickTime on the Mac, it cleans the status bar for you.
