I am writing a small application for iOS using Cordova and struggling to figure this out. My background is a lighter color (hex code #FBC647) but the status bar text shows as white when running. I have attempted to use cordova-plugin-statusbar to change the color with no success (StatusBar.styleDefault();). No matter what I try, the text of the status bar is always white. I want this to display as black icons/text. Any suggestions on how to achieve this? Any help is appreciated.
