React-native: StatusBar Transparent or SetBackground on iOS

[sscaff1]

Is there any way to do this with the current React Native core on iOS?

[esutton]

Perhaps there is a single place to set this in the iOS native react code?

I too would like to see StatusBar backgroundColor support added to StatusBar. Currently only Android has it.

My goal is something like this:

@sscaff1 @esutton RN gives you full control over the screen in IOS by default. So you can put a element with the height of the statusbar or you can use the element directly. refer to this for more info https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/statusbar.html
