Description

After upgrading from 0.58.1 to 0.58.2, using StatusBar's declarative API now throws an exception on Android (haven't tested on IOS).

render() {
  return (
    <View>
      <StatusBar barStyle={"dark-content"} animated={true} />
    </View>
  );
}

I fiddled around with props and after adding backgroundColor={"transparent"} hidden={false} it stopped throwing the exception.

Using imperative API instead of declarative, e.g. StatusBar.setBarStyle("dark-content", true); seems to be working fine.

Not sure if it's a bug or breaking change, but after adding those props, status bar now seems to overwrite previously set translucent={true} to false and needs to be explicitly set again.

Reproducible Demo

See description.

Seems to have been fixed in freshly released 0.58.3. 🥇

I was using StatusBar like this on my render():

<StatusBar
    barStyle="dark-content"
    backgroundColor={this.state.item.color} />

but backgroundColor value was a empty string at first render() execution, so the exception was thrown.
When testing, i've put a valid string color and everything's working fine now.

I still encounter this issue in 0.59.8 @abendi. I also tried the solution provided here but with no results.
