Description

I found this problem when I wanted to display a transparent modal over a screen which has a white status bar. Attached some screenshots about the issue:

default_statusbar

So this is the default state - the screen's status bar is set to white background with dark-content style.

modal_transparent_statusbar

Now this happens if I display a transparent Modal. As you can see the status bar's style is either changed or the transparent modal just overlaps the StatusBar somehow and causing this weirdness.

modal_non_transparent_statusbar

There isn't any problem if Modal isn't transparent.

I think there shouldn't be any difference in the StatusBar regardless of Modal is transparent on not. On iOS this is completely consistent:

ios_default_statusbar
ios_modal_transparent_statusbar
ios_modal_transparent_statusbar
