With the new release of the android/apple native apps I'm having some issues getting my app to behave as intended. No matter how i prompt the AI or look through the code the Status bar and navigation bar (Android 16 OneUI 8) remain white and will not change to black.
I also cant seem to get it to figure out why there is added top padding to the header and added bottom padding to the menu bar at the bottom.
“Native WebView Configuration: The most common reason for white bars in this scenario is that the native Android Activity or WebView itself isn't configured to allow the web content to draw behind the system bars. This usually involves specific flags in the Android Manifest or programmatic settings in the Activity (e.g., android:windowTranslucentStatus, android:statusBarColor, View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN, etc.). These are native Android settings”
According to support:
The white status bar and navigation bar, as well as the extra padding you're seeing, are caused by the WebView wrapper configuration that Base44 controls. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be fixed through prompts or code changes inside your app. It requires adjustments at the native Android level (for example,
windowTranslucentStatus, system UI flags, or edge-to-edge display settings).
I’ve tested multiple apps created with the new native app feature, and they all currently show the same white bars at the top and bottom on Android, which confirms this is a platform-level behavior rather than something specific to your project.
Since this feature was released very recently, it is still under active development and we are continuously adding and refining functionality.
This is a serious short fall and I cannot launch my android app until this has been solved.
