title: React Native: how to change status bar icon colors
body: <p>I can't seem to find a way to change the colors of the status bar icons to white - at the top of the screen, e.g time &amp; battery.</p>

  <p>I've tried adding the following in info.plist</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Status bar style: UIStatusBarStyleLightContent</li>
  <li>View controller-based status bar appearance: NO</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But only seems to work in previous versions of IOS. Any help much appreciated.</p>
