hide statusbar

[arifsuheyl]

I can't hide the status bar when popover is visible on Android. While popover model is closed, it's gone but status bar appears with popover. This does not happen in IOS. How can I solve this?

@arifsuheyl use statusBarTranslucent={true} prop, the typescript declaration is missing it.

@phuoctai12t possible to hide without height?

I have the same issue - both navigation (hidden through expo-navigation-bar) and statusbar appears when the popover opens.

I think the root cause is that popover uses the Modal component from React Native to make sure the popover is displayed on top of all other views.

There's a known issue about this in RN's issue queue: facebook/react-native#37801
