Add new styleDarkContent

[jcesarmobile]

That sets the native value to UIStatusBarStyleDarkContent. Note that it's an iOS 13 value, so in older version it should set the value to UIStatusBarStyleDefault as it used to have the same effect (set text to black color)

What's the status with this? As of right now, we cannot make the status bar dark on a light background with iOS 13.

[jcesarmobile]

You can with default, but it’s not released

[ShaneMosley]

So this fix will be implemented in the next release of this plugin? And if so, do you know when that might be?

[ShaneMosley]

Sorry, just a bit confused with your statement

[jcesarmobile]

Yes, will be on next release, or you can install from github directly

[ShaneMosley]

Oh legit! I see what you mean now. I can do it now with sticking with default because you already committed a change. I will do that :) Thanks again!

I think UIStatusBarStyleDefault will be useful as well for device configuration related theme, so please do not deprecate StatusBar.styleDefault.

for me works this

if( this.style == 'dark') {
this.statusBar.backgroundColorByHexString('#000000');
this.statusBar.styleDefault()
}else{
this.statusBar.backgroundColorByHexString('#ffffff');
this.statusBar.styleLightContent();
}

But I change this line in CDVStatusBar.m in my xcode project

• (void) styleLightContent:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
  {
  [self setStyleForStatusBar:UIStatusBarStyleDarkContent]; ---> this UIStatusBarStyleDarkContent for ios 13.0
  }

  }

How can I retrieve in CDVStatusBar.m the iOS version of the device and then set the value accordingly?

@derweise I did the following to achieve this. I made a new styleDarkContent function.

-(void) styleDarkContent:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command
{
    if (@available(iOS 13, *)) {
        [self setStyleForStatusBar:UIStatusBarStyleDarkContent];
    } else {
        [self styleDefault:command];
    }
}

If iOS 13 or greater style dark content because it isn't supported by older versions; else use default.

I also added this to the header file.
- (void) styleDarkContent:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command;

And if you're using Ionic or TS interfaces added a styleDarkContent function in the type definitions file.
