Status bar not showing in standalone iOS app

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 35.0.0
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS

The status bar is never visible on standalone iOS app while it is visible in the simulator. I have both header and tab bar in my app. I have already tried using SafeAreaView, SafeAreaProvider, and/or setting headerInset but none of them help. And I don’t have a background color, ie its the default color. Please help me make the status bar visible in standalone app.

Hey @gravfity,

Can you share your app.json? Also, it’s worth creating a fresh Expo project and building an .ipa to see if the issue persists.

Cheers,
Adam
