The best approach would to adapt the code to work on any iOS Version (well, 5, 6 and 7 in this case) without fiddling with wantsFullScreenLayout is this is possible?

This code was already there, I probably would have used the init method if I had written it, but, as it happens it works out well, since iOS 7 doesn't use (so therefore it never calls the getter or the setter) wantsFullScreenLayout, I do not need to check the version in these methods, so it is better compatibility wise, although, I doubt it was planned!

The default value of that property is the equivalent of wantsFullScreenLayout=YES, and you should be able to set edgesForExtendedLayout to RectEdgesNone to get a similar effect to NO.
Yes, fixed it now, it's annoying that it is defaulted YES or that XCode 5/IB sets to YES. I had to go through 35+ VCs setting the RectEdgesNone flags to NO.
IMO, the "good" thing to do would if loading a Storyboard/NIB generated by an older version of XCode, would be to default those items to NO. For new VCs being created, set it to YES.
Thanks for the help.
