React Native: Issue with StatusBar – Background Color Not Changing (New Problem)

I’m currently encountering an issue in my React Native project related to the StatusBar component. Despite trying various solutions, the background color of the status bar is not changing as expected. Here’s a simplified version of my code:

import React from 'react';
import { View, StatusBar, Text } from 'react-native';

export default function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <View>
      <StatusBar
        backgroundColor="blue" // or any desired color
        barStyle="light-content"
      />
      <Text>Content Below StatusBar</Text>
      {/* ...other components */}
    </View>
  );
}

Despite setting the backgroundColor prop, the status bar color remains unchanged. I’ve tried different colors and reviewed the React Native documentation, but the issue persists.

Can someone please provide guidance on how to troubleshoot and resolve this new problem with the StatusBar background color not changing in React Native? Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Try this one it works for both iOS and Android

    https://reactnative.dev/docs/statusbar?language=javascript

    import React, {useState} from 'react';
import {
  Button,
  Platform,
  SafeAreaView,
  StatusBar,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
} from 'react-native';

const STYLES = ['default', 'dark-content', 'light-content'];
const TRANSITIONS = ['fade', 'slide', 'none'];

const App = () => {
  const [hidden, setHidden] = useState(false);
  const [statusBarStyle, setStatusBarStyle] = useState(STYLES[0]);
  const [statusBarTransition, setStatusBarTransition] = useState(
    TRANSITIONS[0],
  );

  const changeStatusBarVisibility = () => setHidden(!hidden);

  const changeStatusBarStyle = () => {
    const styleId = STYLES.indexOf(statusBarStyle) + 1;
    if (styleId === STYLES.length) {
      setStatusBarStyle(STYLES[0]);
    } else {
      setStatusBarStyle(STYLES[styleId]);
    }
  };

  const changeStatusBarTransition = () => {
    const transition = TRANSITIONS.indexOf(statusBarTransition) + 1;
    if (transition === TRANSITIONS.length) {
      setStatusBarTransition(TRANSITIONS[0]);
    } else {
      setStatusBarTransition(TRANSITIONS[transition]);
    }
  };

  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
      <StatusBar
        animated={true}
        backgroundColor="#61dafb"
        barStyle={statusBarStyle}
        showHideTransition={statusBarTransition}
        hidden={hidden}
      />
      <Text style={styles.textStyle}>
        StatusBar Visibility:{'n'}
        {hidden ? 'Hidden' : 'Visible'}
      </Text>
      <Text style={styles.textStyle}>
        StatusBar Style:{'n'}
        {statusBarStyle}
      </Text>
      {Platform.OS === 'ios' ? (
        <Text style={styles.textStyle}>
          StatusBar Transition:{'n'}
          {statusBarTransition}
        </Text>
      ) : null}
      <View style={styles.buttonsContainer}>
        <Button title="Toggle StatusBar" onPress={changeStatusBarVisibility} />
        <Button title="Change StatusBar Style" onPress={changeStatusBarStyle} />
        {Platform.OS === 'ios' ? (
          <Button
            title="Change StatusBar Transition"
            onPress={changeStatusBarTransition}
          />
        ) : null}
      </View>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#ECF0F1',
  },
  buttonsContainer: {
    padding: 10,
  },
  textStyle: {
    textAlign: 'center',
    marginBottom: 8,
  },
});

export default App;

    backgroundColor property only supported in android in <StatusBar /> component

    for ios you should use safeAreaInsets to give top padding or you can use <SafeAreaView /> on top of your component
