title: react native status bar not displaying dark-content
body: <p>I am using the following code, though the status bar appears to be displaying white text instead of black. Any help would be great</p>
  
  <pre><code>// @flow
  
  import React, { Component } from 'react'
  import { View, StatusBar } from 'react-native'
  import NavigationRouter from '../Navigation/NavigationRouter'
  import { connect } from 'react-redux'
  import StartupActions from '../Redux/StartupRedux'
  import ReduxPersist from '../Config/ReduxPersist'
  
  // Styles
  import styles from './Styles/RootContainerStyle'
  
  class RootContainer extends Component {
    componentDidMount () {
      // if redux persist is not active fire startup action
      if (!ReduxPersist.active) {
        this.props.startup()
      }
    }
  
    render () {
      return (
        &lt;View style={styles.applicationView}&gt;
          &lt;StatusBar barStyle='dark-content' /&gt;
          &lt;NavigationRouter /&gt;
        &lt;/View&gt;
      )
    }
  }
  
  // wraps dispatch to create nicer functions to call within our component
  const mapDispatchToProps = (dispatch) =&gt; ({
    startup: () =&gt; dispatch(StartupActions.startup())
  })
  
  export default connect(null, mapDispatchToProps)(RootContainer)
  </code></pre>
