Current Behavior

The status bar is gone after the camera is dismissed/canceled. I ionic header height is changed to take the status bar height - see below

The ion header when the status bar is displayed and before the camera is opened

The ion header after the status bar is gone and after the camera is dismissed/canceled

To reproduce please clone this repo https://github.com/ryaa/capacitor-status-bar-becomes-invisible-issue, build and run it. Then tap Get Photo, select picker or camera and then cancel (don't select image or take a photo). Note that the status bar is gone.

Expected Behavior

Status bar must stay the same

Here is the PR to fix the above issue #2347. Please note that it fixes two issues:

• the status bar is gone after the camera overlay is dismissed
• any settings (background color etc.) set via the plugin methods (https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/status-bar#setbackgroundcolor etc.) are reset to the initial config settings (either default or set in capacitor.config) when after the camera overlay is dismissed

@andredestro can you please take a look when you have a chance? thank you

Yes. As I mentioned in my post above, the problem seems to be that any settings (background color etc.) set via the plugin methods (for example, https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/status-bar#setbackgroundcolor etc.) are reset to the initial config settings (either default or set in capacitor.config). @mleister97 can you please try to apply the changes from my fix (see main...ryaa:capacitor-plugins:bugfix/capacitor-status-bar-becomes-invisible) to see if this fixes the problem for you?
