Hi JT

Starting from iOS 7 the status bar is transparent. Check around UINavigationController

Hi JT,

yes, it's a feature but you can set the StatusBarColor to get rid of it.

1. In Service Studio, open the home module of your mobile app.

2. In the module tree, select the module and, in the properties editor, open the Extensibility Configurations property editor window:

{
    "preferences": {
        "global": [{
            "name": "StatusBarOverlaysWebView",
            "value": "<value>"
        },
        {
            "name": "StatusBarBackgroundColor",
            "value": "<#RRGGBB>"
        },
        {
            "name": "StatusBarStyle",
            "value": "<value>"
        }]
    }
}

3. After customizing the status bar you must install an updated build of the mobile app on the devices for the changes to take effect.

Note: You can also try to follow step 3 for your existing implementation.

Hope it helps.

Thank you very much for your reply assif_tiger,

Its exactly what I did in the manifest file, except i was expecting to see changes immedetialy, i had no idea it required a new app install.

Anyway, thank you very much for your answer, its working as expected now, so I marked it as a solution.

Follow up question: I am now trying to use the same manifest to prevent android virtual keyboard from resizing the viewport, but no luck so far. Here is the code:

{
"preferences": {
"global": [{
"name": "orientation",
"value": "portrait"
}
],
"ios": [{
"name": "KeyboardDisplayRequiresUserAction",
"value": "false"
},{
"name": "StatusBarOverlaysWebView",
"value": "true"
},{
"name": "StatusBarBackgroundColor",
"value": "#fff"
},{
"name": "StatusBarStyle",
"value": "default"
}],

"android":[{
        "name": "windowSoftInputMode",
        "value": "adjustNothing"
}
]

   
}
}

Is there annything wrong with my code?
