iOS : if Splashscreen is not set, Status Bar is always visible

[monsieurmax]

Description

Hello,

here's a bug that puzzled me for a while.
On iOS, for an app requesting to hide status bar in info.plist, If no splashscreen is set inside csproj, then the statusbar is always visible.
Setting a splashscreen is giving the expected result

Testing on iPhone 12 SE - iOS 16.7
Not reproducible on all devices.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new dotnet 8 MAUI app for ios
2. Edit the Info.plist to allow fullscreen and hidden status bar :

<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<false/>

3. Edit csproj by commenting the line that define the default splashscreen
