Xamarin.forms, removing status bar in iOS 10

Question

I'm using the following code in AppDelegate.FinishedLaunching to removing the status bar in iOS from my Xamarin forms app:

  UIApplication.SharedApplication.SetStatusBarHidden (true, UIStatusBarAnimation.None);

This does removes the space used by the status bar, but the contents of the status bar are still being rendered.

At the top of this image (my app in portrait mode, brightness enhanced), you can see the clock, battery indicator, et al. being drawn right over my app:

How do I get rid of this?

This is a Page in a Forms app that consists of a single SKCanvasView, if that's relevant.

Answer 1

Add these options to your info.plist

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

Or
