Bug Report

In Android 15 - Status Bar Hidden When Using Camera Plugin Due to Edge-to-Edge Display

Problem

What is expected to happen?

Status bar should remain visible and styled as per cordova-plugin-statusbar settings (e.g., background color, overlaysWebView).

App should not draw under the status or navigation bars unless explicitly requested.

Dialog buttons like "OK" and "Cancel" should not appear behind or under system bars.

What does actually happen?

When the camera/photo library opens:

Status bar becomes hidden or overlaps UI.

Buttons like "OK" and "Cancel" appear below status bar.

Happens only on Android 11+ (API 30+), especially Android 14/15.
