how to hide the Status Bar while LaunchScreen.xib is showing?

[faceyspacey]

Once React-Native kicks in, its control of the status bar starts working, but I'd like to not see it while the splash screen is showing as well. How can you accomplish that?

It'd be easy enough with a change to [RCTSplashScreen Show] to accept a parameter to enable/disable the status bar. I'd accept a PR over at https://github.com/mehcode/rn-splash-screen

You can define it in your apps Info.plist file. This will initially hide status bar. Then if you want you can show again in the app..
