Added
StatusBarHandlerto provide per-page control over Android status bar appearance, with support for both modal and non-modal pages.Problem
Previously, status bar color and icon style were set globally across the entire app. When navigating between pages with different backgrounds (e.g., a photo capture page with transparent status bar, then a regular page with colored background), the status bar couldn't adapt automatically. This was especially problematic in modal navigation scenarios.
Solution
Introduced two new properties on
ContentPage:StatusBarColor: Sets the status bar background color for each pageStatusBarStyle: Controls icon color (Clock, battery, etc.)Auto- Automatically determines light/dark icons based on background luminosity (default)Light- Light icons for dark backgroundsDark- Dark icons for light backgroundsThe
StatusBarHandlerautomatically detects modal vs non-modal pages and applies the correct implementation:Status bar updates dynamically in
OnAppearing(), ensuring correct appearance as users navigate.Platform Differences
Android only - iOS status bar is controlled differently through
Info.plistand native APIs.Files Changed
