Wrong status bar height on Pixel 6

Title says it all...

Same here. We have customer reports of wrong status bar padding on a Pixel 5. We're not using this package, but also use StatusBar.currentHeight to get the value on Android. It appears to be a react-native problem on Pixel phones :(

I spent a couple hours looking into this.

The best solution I've found is to use react-native-safe-area-context.

Then, an accurate status bar height can be retrieved from useSafeAreaInsets().top. Better than any other solution out there. In fact, it is the one recommended by Expo.
