Can not close the Interstitial Ads in some iPhone Devices

[haresh4d]

What happened?

I am getting many reviews of the user that they are unable to close the interstitial ads without closing the app. Is it a library bug? or do I need to do something else?

Platforms

Only on iOS

We are also seeing this issue on iOS devices (iPhone 14 Pro). The ad is taking up the full screen but it’s putting the close X too high over the status bar (battery gauge) and cannot be interacted with

This has been reported multiple times before. See: #240

TLDR: hide the status bar when showing an interstitial, bring it back after.
