Just checked and it’s working as documented. It’s true that StatusBarStyle.Light might be counterintuitive for iOS users as it sets the native value to default, and StatusBarStyle.Dark to lightContent, but Android works the other way around, so, as we want both platforms to behave the same way, we choose the Android behavior this time. Changing this to behave like iOS will be a breaking change and users used to Android behavior might complain then as it should be changed for both platforms. So we are keeping current behavior.

// Light text for dark backgrounds.
Dark: "DARK"
// Dark text for light backgrounds.
Light: "LIGHT"

Thanks for your explanation. Not it is clear for me how to configure the plugin correctly.
