Shouldn't it be edit-config?

Also worth mentioning you need to remove/add the platform for it to work

@FlorentMasson If my memory serves right, both can use XML but only config-file can parse .plist files.

Re-adding a plugin is always required if changes are made to the plugin variables and platform re-adding is always required when changing other values. If those necessities are not documented then we should improve it over at https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs.

LGTM

UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance set to true is required for the plugin to work, so setting it to false will prevent it from working.
Will certainly also hide it on startup as desired, but the user won't be able to show it again.

I don't think we should be recommending this on the plugin docs as we do now, nor adding this change.

[timbru31]

We are using the same two properties in production without any issues - and are able to hide/show the status bar programmatically.
The code even checks for _uiviewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance (e.g., in https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-statusbar/blob/master/src/ios/CDVStatusBar.m#L395))

Maybe I'm mistaken, too - Apple's docs are always terrible.

yeah, if not using UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance it uses setStatusBarHidden, which was deprecated on iOS 9, if you say it still works then they might have not removed it yet, I didn't try before commenting
