Hi there, It seems that setting iOS status bar this way doesn't work anymore, iOS version 13 and 14, Nativescript v. 6.5... I'm setting the barStyle to 0 or 1, but nothing happens. No change. Always stays black. Is there any other way to get this done for iOS?

Arturs, looks like it has changed a bit in the docs https://docs.nativescript.org/ui/change-status-bar-style-ios
