Description

When running Phonegap 3.3.0 with iOS 8 on an iPhone 6, the status bar is visible when my app first launches but eventually fades away.

This behavior is occurring regardless of any user interaction and its timing is different between launches. Also, nothing is being outputted to the XCode console when this happens.

I've attempted to work around this with the following code but it doesn't have any affect:

setInterval(function() {
     StatusBar.show();
     StatusBar.styleDefault();
     StatusBar.backgroundColorByHexString('#FFFFFF');
     StatusBar.overlaysWebView(true);
}, 500);

This issue is not occurring with the same code base using Phonegap 3.3.0 with iOS 7.1 on an iPhone 5.

I'm using the latest status bar plugin baseline located at: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-statusbar
