Feature request: Allow to overlay status bar over WebView

[UlisesCeca]

Hello,

is it possible to make the status bar transparent or translucent like the image below with the current plugin?

Thanks!

It's possible to make the bar translucent as it accepts AARRGGBB as color, but it's not possible to show the webview behind the statusbar.

Okay, thank you!

Will this ever be considered to be implemented in the future?

In case it's done, it would be android only method, should be like the cordova-plugin-statusbar overlaysWebView method.

I'm also really missing this :/
We're currently migrating a cordova app to capacitor and supporting phones with notches correctly was an important part of the design, so we really relied on the cordova statusbar plugin being able to overlay the webview :(
Are there workarounds by changing the android code directly? The last time I developed for Android was about five years ago, so I'm a bit rusty x)

this has been implemented on #2597, removing the feature request label

@jcesarmobile what about ios support?

[jcesarmobile]

iOS always overlays the status bar, you can avoid the status bar area by respecting safe areas
