Cordova/Phonegap ignores fullscreen preference in config.xml on iOS

I have defined 

<preference name="Fullscreen" value="true"/>

But deploying through Xcode it ignores this. Even if I set hide status bar on the build settings. All my other config.xml settings seem to work, but not this.

Fullscreen does not work on iOS 7 and above. Instead you can use Cordova HiddenStatusbarOverlay Plugin to hide the statusbar.

Another way to hide it is to use a gap:config-file element to overwrite the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance property:

<gap:config-file platform="ios" parent="UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance" overwrite="true">
    <false/>
</gap:config-file>
