> Maybe we can add a workaround for `--safe-area-inset-*` beeing 0? The article https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/make-webviews-edge-to-edge-a6ef319adfac shows how to set `--safe-area-inset-*` css variables by JavaScript from the native code. This can be used if the safe-area-inset-* css environment variables are 0. Is this the only reason for using your custom plugin? This isn't a problem for me. After some time has passed, I'll probably switch completely to `env(safe-area-inset-*)` (Which I'm already using on iOS), although I'll continue using the custom plugin for the following features. - `StatusBar.overlaysWebView(true)`: I've always had the WebView fill the entire screen, with transparent/semi-transparent system bars on old Android versions that don't support edgeToEdge. - `StatusBar.styleLightContent()`: Changes the status bar icons to white when the app is using the dark theme, or when the light theme has a header image. - `StatusBar.styleDefault()`: Changes the status bar icons to black when the app is using the light theme. - `StatusBar.height()`: Returns the height of the status bar, since env(safe-area-inset-*) didn't previously work on Android. Out of all these, I do think `StatusBar.styleLightContent()` and `StatusBar.styleDefault()` should be implemented in the built-in plugin (On both iOS and Android), as they're often needed depending on the app's theme or design. I've attached a video showing an example of the use of `styleLightContent()` and `styleDefault()` in my app. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5ed6c0ce-5790-4997-815f-37b9f743dc56 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
