StatusBar not respecting device orientation (iOS)

See original GitHub issue

I have my project set to portrait in app.json.

{
  "expo": {
   ...
    "sdkVersion": 22.0.0",
    "orientation": "portrait",

When I rotate my iOS device, the screen does not go into landscape mode (good). However, the status bar DOES go into landscape mode (bad). The status bar moves with an animation to each side of the screen, depending on how I have my device rotated.

Having the similar issue using the Expo iOS app - native status bar will rotate despite ScreenOrientation lock, though I assume it is intended to interact with native code. Differences in my case: I am locking to PORTRAIT, and the only times I have ever seen the status bar stay put is when I have locked my phone orientation manually.

I don’t know how to make a snack yet, but when I get to it I’ll see what happens.
