I just committed some changes to the nightly build.
In practice the fullScreen method should work stand alone. It doesn’t have to be wrapped in dom or device ready, it doesnt need to be in ran inside of myApp.run(function() {}). However, the problem in debugging this is replicating the issues this group is experiencing.
Would I be able to get some assistance testing this? You should be able to put ionic.Platform.fullScreen(); anywhere in your code and internally it’ll do the appropriate checks to move to full screen when everything is ready (both dom and device).
Also as a reminder, be sure to update your CSS too since certain css classes are required to correctly adjust the for the status bar. Thanks
