iphone - Phonegap iOS: how to remove status bar when hotspot overlay is active? -

my phonegap app (running on ios 8.1, iphone 5) has typical black status bar @ top of page. works perfectly.

when run app device's personal hotspot on, bluish personal hotspot message appears, intended. not overlay app, intended. however, original status bar positioned after personal hotspot message, , empty black bar nil in it. seems original status bar removed, container not.

is there way rid of empty black bar when hotspot on?

to clarify. there still status bar @ original place when hotspot on. appears bluish , part of hotspot message.

my html looks code snippet under heading 'basic template' on this page. it's typical html file.

i'm using phonegap statusbar plugin, , added 1 line of code in phonegap config.xml file:

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