Provides the same interface as the React Native [StatusBar API](https://reactnative.dev/docs/statusbar), but with slightly different defaults to work great in Expo environments.

- Default to `translucent={true}` on Android.
- The `style="auto"` maps to a dark status bar when in light mode and a light status bar when in dark moded. `style="inverted"` inverts this behavior.

- [Documentation for the main branch](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/unversioned/sdk/status-bar/)

# Installation in managed Expo projects

For [managed](https://docs.expo.dev/archive/managed-vs-bare/) Expo projects, please follow the installation instructions in the [API documentation for the latest stable release](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/status-bar/). If you follow the link and there is no documentation available then this library is not yet usable within managed projects &mdash; it is likely to be included in an upcoming Expo SDK release.

Please refer to the [React Native StatusBar API documentation](https://reactnative.dev/docs/statusbar).

# Installation in bare React Native projects

```
npm install expo-status-bar
```

### Configure for Android

No additional setup necessary.

### Configure for iOS
