Any news for this bug? It is very important to set the height because on iOS 7 there is an extra space of 20 pixel needed on top for the system bar.

I'm interested in this too!

Bad behavior on iOS7
Vishal Duggal 2013-10-22

We are not going to expose this functionality. iOS7 has some layout issues with toolbar items (see screenshot for attached example). And we have no control over the layout of the items.

So basically Ti.UI.iOS.Toolbar is useless on iOS7 when you need it position at the top? Let's deprecate the darn thing then
Sebastian Klaus 2013-11-26

Deprecating is such a bad idea. Ti.UI.iOS.Toolbar could be used on more positions than top!

Closing ticket as the issue will not fix and with reference to the above comments.
