statusBarHidden no longer works in iOS 13

[trispo]

When testing our app with iOS 13 we see that hiding the status bar no longer works. Looking into the source code I can see you move the application window above the statusbar window which seems not to work anymore.

No, sorry. In the end, I did use another lib.

[trispo]

Well, that's not an open source one. Sorry.

@trispo im curious, which one did you use?

I ran into this problem too. I tried all sorts of things but the only one that worked for me was to modify the ViewController that presents the ImageGallery. To show what I did, I made my changes to the example. The only file that has to change is ViewController.swift, see below (search for hideStatusBar).
