Current Behavior

Enabling splashImmersive does not hide the status bar on app start up. I had to manually set UIStatusBarHidden to true but this causes another error where the status bar appears a millisecond between start up and showing the splash screen with the spinner.

Expected Behavior

Enabling this option should hide the status bar until ready state is called.

Sample Code or Sample Application Repo

Reproduction Steps

With any ionic starter:

1. Set splashImmersive to true
2. Run with ionic capacitor run ios --livereload
3. Run on device
4. Status bar is visible
5. Set UIStatusBarHidden in Plist to true
6. Re-run app
7. Flickering seen but Status bar hidden

Other Technical Details

node --version output: 12.16.1

pod --version output (iOS issues only): 1.8.3

Other Information

that is Android only preference, should be documented

[muuvmuuv]

Oh, okay. But why? iOS provides such functionality as I can see and mentioned above. Maybe I turn this into a feature request then?

[jcesarmobile]

Because immersive mode is an android thing, not an iOS thing

[muuvmuuv]

Okay, I understand that. Then how do I enable this functionality for iOS? Manually through UIStatusBarHidden works not so great (as you can see in the GIF) and I can not figure out where this flickering come from.

[jcesarmobile]

iOS app are already full screen, the status bar is "transparent",
so what you say sounds like a different issue, can you provide a sample app?

[muuvmuuv]

You can simply run any starter and try to remove the status bar with UIStatusBarHidden.

Does this bug really got fixed? I'm still facing the issue with the latest capacitor on android device.
I tried it with the latest capacitor 3.0.0-rc.0 with the below configuration, and I still got the issue.
Neither the status bar nor the navbar is hidden.

  "plugins": {
    "SplashScreen": {
      "launchShowDuration": 3000,
      "launchAutoHide": true,
      "backgroundColor": "#ffffffff",
      "androidSplashResourceName": "splash",
      "androidScaleType": "CENTER_CROP",
      "androidSpinnerStyle": "large",
      "iosSpinnerStyle": "small",
      "spinnerColor": "#999999",
      "showSpinner": true,
      "splashFullScreen": true,
      "splashImmersive": true
    }
  },
