Describe the bug

I'm having an issue with status bar background colour not showing on page load. This is only happening on iOS 15. I suspect this might be caused by the latest iOS update but I haven't come across any nativescript-angular solutions yet.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to revert this to how it worked in previous iOS versions?

It's worth to mention that if a page has enough content to scroll, as you scroll down, status bar background colour shows again.

Expected behavior

Normally status bar should have a certain level of transparency so that ActionBar could go below it, that's the reason it normally has a different shade.

What I tried already

Here's an example of ActionBar used throughout the project:

<ActionBar class="action-bar">
    <NavigationButton ios:visibility="collapsed" icon="res://menu" (tap)="onDrawerButtonTap()"></NavigationButton>
    <ActionItem icon="res://navigation/menu" android:visibility="collapsed" (tap)="onDrawerButtonTap()" ios.position="left"></ActionItem>
    <Label class="action-bar-title">
        <FormattedString>
            <Span text="Home"></Span>
        </FormattedString>
    </Label>
</ActionBar>

We managed to change colour of ActionBar with the code below as that was previously showing transparent too however this only works for navigation.

fixNavigationBar() {
      let osVersionMajor = device.osVersion.split(".")[0];
      if(isIOS && parseInt(osVersionMajor) >= 15) {
          let appearance = UINavigationBar.appearance();
          appearance.backgroundColor = new Color("#26aeb5").ios;
      }
 }
