Description
The Android status bar was appearing white when the app opened.
Root cause
The app has
edgeToEdgeEnabled=trueinandroid/gradle.properties(set by Expo prebuild), which forces the status bar to be fully transparent. Because the root JSX used a bare Fragment<>with no background color, the transparent status bar was showing the white window background behind it.All previous approaches (
statusBarColorinstyles.xml,StatusBar.setBackgroundColor()at runtime) had no effect because edge-to-edge mode ignores them entirely.Fix
Wrap the root JSX in a
<View>withbackgroundColorset to the app's brand color (#2797AF). The transparent status bar now shows the teal background through it instead of white. The existingmarginTop: Constants.statusBarHeighton the WebView already ensured the content sat correctly below the status bar area.Changes
App.js: wrap<>fragment with<View style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: '#2797AF' }}>and add correspondingappContainerstyleCloses #25
