Hi all,  
I just build my app on iPhone device and I have white status bar with white text (also in simulator from xcode). Only think I can see is green battery status.

In config.xml I have set status bar like:

```auto
<preference name="StatusBarBackgroundColor" value="#4d742d" />

```

and in `app.config.ts` in `platform.ready` I have:

```auto
 this.statusBar.backgroundColorByHexString("#4d742d")

```

StatusBar native plugin installed.

Can you please help me with this bug?

Thanks
