Xamarin.forms: [Bug] Xamarin.Forms 4.5 ignores iOS status bar colour change

[IeuanWalker]

Updating from 4.4 to 4.5 iOS status bar colour is now getting ignored.

The only change to the iOS status in this version is this PR - #8791

In my project I set the Status bar background colour, but this is now getting ignored after updating to 4.5.

// style ios navbar
UIColor barTintColor = UIColor.FromRGB(5, 60, 61);
UIColor tintColor = UIColor.White;
UINavigationBar.Appearance.BarTintColor = barTintColor;
UINavigationBar.Appearance.TintColor = tintColor;
UINavigationBar.Appearance.TitleTextAttributes = new UIStringAttributes() { ForegroundColor = UIColor.White };
UINavigationBar.Appearance.Translucent = true;

I need to use version 4.5 because I'm getting a NotImplementExeception when using 4.4 (no exception in android), but everything is fine with 4.5 except for the status bar colour.

I'd be happy with a workaround for now if anyone knows of one?

We have the exact same issue, how can a update break something like this?

[brentvvosselen]

We have the same issue as well.

Thanks @jsuarezruiz for the fix, just wondering if there is any time frame that this would be released in?

[IeuanWalker]

@jsuarezruiz @samhouts would it be available in pre-release or the nightly build for me to test?

[IeuanWalker]

@rmarinho is there way i can try the fix now?

[rmarinho]

[IeuanWalker]

@rmarinho thanks, i just tried the nightly build, and I'm getting the same issue.

Same issue when upgrade to lastest XF

[tbaggett]

@rmarinho I still see the white nav bar on iOS after updating to the latest XF 4.5.0.396 package that was released two days ago. I deleted the bin and obj folders and did a full rebuild of the project after updating and before testing.

Should XF 4.5.0.396 contain the fix for this issue?

[ngalicoco]

Please when is this coming out. It is not fixed in 4.5.0.396 ?

[Burgler-dev]

I can confirm that 4.5.0.396 still has the issue. Will there be fix for 4.5 @rmarinho ?

[enterprisemk]

4.5.0.495 - issue still not fixed

[ngalicoco]

[nhdanh]

Same here 4.5.0.495 - still not working for me

[tbaggett]

@rmarinho can this issue be reopened? It is not fixed. Thank you.

[alexsotir]

It's definitely not fixed. I had to roll back to 4.4.0.991864 so that I can still set the color.

[samhouts]

Please try the package in https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/9765#issuecomment-607956957 and let us know if that resolves the issue for you. Thanks!

[dmarjoram]

Not fixed for me in 4.5.0.617

[samhouts]

@ValonK @dmarjoram Please open a new issue with a reproduction project if this is still not working after you have updated to latest. Thanks!
