Ionic-framework: iOS: When ionic keyboard appears, status bar becomes un-overlayed

Ionic version: (check one with "x")
(For Ionic 1.x issues, please use https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-v1)
[ ] 2.x
[ ] 3.x
[ ] 4.x
[x] Plain Cordova

I'm submitting a ... (check one with "x")

[ ] feature request

Current behavior:
on iOS I set <preference name="StatusBarOverlaysWebView" value="false" /> and using cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard with <preference name="KeyboardResize" value="true" /> and resize method set to native. When keyboard opens, statusbar becomes overlaid. I can fix it by manually calling

window.StatusBar.hide();
window.StatusBar.show();

Expected behavior:
If I set <preference name="StatusBarOverlaysWebView" value="false" /> it should remain un-overlayed even when keyboard opens

Steps to reproduce:
Install:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-statusbar" spec="git+https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-statusbar.git" />
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard" spec="^2.0.5" />

set following settings

<preference name="StatusBarStyle" value="default" />
<preference name="StatusBarOverlaysWebView" value="false" />
<preference name="KeyboardResize" value="true" />

Focus on any input field and observe status bar

The same happens with IONIC 3. One workaround is hide statusbar, for example, but is not a solution. It's very annoying.

There's a fix in one of the forks

Yes. It works well. Thanks a lot. Nice job.

I can't understand that is not commited to the master branch. And, the Ionic Documentation of the Keyboard is a link to a deprecated repository.

This issue has been automatically identified as an Ionic 3 issue. We recently moved Ionic 3 to its own repository. I am moving this issue to the repository for Ionic 3. Please track this issue over there.

If I've made a mistake, and if this issue is still relevant to Ionic 4, please let the Ionic Framework team know!

Thank you for using Ionic!
