When setting StatusBar translucent to true, header will get render out of safe area on android.
StatusBar translucent=true

StatusBar translucent=false

Snack code:
https://snack.expo.io/Ld5Ma4ZNM
import * as React from 'react';
import { Text, View, StatusBar } from 'react-native';
import { enableScreens } from 'react-native-screens';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createNativeStackNavigator } from 'react-native-screens/native-stack';
enableScreens();
const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
function HomeScreen() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<StatusBar
barStyle="light-content"
backgroundColor="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)"
translucent
animated
/>
<Text>Home Screen</Text>
</View>
);
}
export default function App() {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator>
<Stack.Screen name="Application" component={HomeScreen} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
);
}

Closing as I misunderstand translucent status bar behaviour
What did you misunderstand? I also noticed it renderd underneath it, but since the header is native you cant apply insets to it, right?

I was confuse with how it should behave when experimenting on my code base, but you are right, the native-stack should handle it correctly. There is an another new issue #485 mention about this problem.
@WoLewicki is it possible to look into this too? This is issue with android devices and header again :(
I am investigating it.
I am also facing the same issue
@saikats5 this issue has been addressed in #545. Did you follow the instructions from there?
