Missing Mobile Status Bar

Question

I am working with UWP .net core. The app looks fine on desktop but on mobile there is a white stripe instead of the status bar.

I read a post about

StatusBar.GetForCurrentView().BackgroundColor = Colors.Black;
StatusBar.GetForCurrentView().BackgroundOpacity = 1; 

But Visual Studio can't find "StatusBar". What can I do?

Thank you

You need to add Windows Mobile Extension SDK to your project as this is for Mobile device only.

Right click on your project, go

Add > Reference...

When the Reference Manager window pops up, select

Universal Windows > Extensions

on the left pane, and then pick the SDK with the version that you are targeting.
