Description Thomas Steiner 2020-04-16 05:37:35 PDT 
The behavior of `<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black-translucent">` is very confusing (at least) since dark mode is a thing. Text actually renders white instead of black.

It turns out that the undocumented value `white-translucent` renders text in black. Ideally, this should simply be `translucent`, and iOS should render the text in the correct color dependent on the color scheme.

The `black-translucent` tag has been deprecated, and the `white-translucent` is not a supported value. Can you please try <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="white"> instead?

The fix for this issue was needed outside the WebKit project, therefore this is being resolved as 'Moved'.

However, that component believes that it is behaving correctly.
