StatusBar barStyle prop not working when dark-mode activated on iOS 13 beta.

See original GitHub issue

On iOS 13 beta, I’m trying to change the style of the status bar using the StatusBar component, but it doesn’t work when the System’s Appearance is set to Dark. Note that it does work as expected when the System’s Appearance is light.

React Native version: 0.59.1

Steps To Reproduce

On iOS 13 beta, change the system’s Appearance to Dark in Settings -> Developer.
Try to set the barStyle prop on the StatusBar component to “dark-content”:

<StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" />

Describe what you expected to happen:

I expect the color of status bar elements (battery, network…) to be black, but they remain white.

@DenisSokoloff yes I am. On a serious note: upgraded to 0.61, and yes, it works 😉

I have “react-native”: “0.61.5”, But in iOS I do not see changes from dark and light 😦
