iOS Question Make the status bar invisible AND the bottom bar (on iphoneX +)

[Mike1970]

Hi everyone, it's possible to make the status bar transparent (in the screenshot is the white space at the top), anche make transparent the bottom part?
This layout is simply a web view with a GIF, in the designer the Webview is set to cover all the area.
This represent the splashsceen.

Thanks!

Not sure whether it will work with iOS 13 as they were several changes related to the status bar.

I solved putting my background view some dip below 0

view.top = -50dip (example)

and in order to have the black text in statusbar i used:

    Dim no As NativeObject = App
    no.RunMethod("setStatusBarStyle:", Array(0))

There is no separate status bar window in IOS 13 and this seriously restricts a possibility to control status bar appearance.
Meanwhile Apple added callback functions prefersStatusBarHidden and preferredStatusBarStyle in IOS 7 and they are valid up to now.
These functions allow to show / hide status bar and to specify text color (black / white).

Somehow I posted a sample, which demonstrates different combinations (dark/light status bar without navigation bar; navigation bar without status bar; no status bar and navigation bar) .
