Android system status bar content not displayed — appears as plain black bar

[RastoHu]

Description
On the staging build of the Mergin Maps mobile app, the Android system status bar does not display system information (time, signal, battery, etc.) — it appears as a plain black bar. On the PROD build the status bar renders correctly with a dark green background and full system info.

Environment
[x] Staging [ ] PROD

Application (+ app version, build, operating system)
Mergin Maps Android app — 2026.3.0
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S3, Android 9

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the staging build of the Mergin Maps app on an Android 9 device
2. Open the app and observe the system status bar at the top of the screen

Actual results
The status bar is a plain black bar with no system content — time, network signal, battery indicator and other Android system icons are not displayed.

Expected results
The status bar should display Android system information (time, connections, battery, etc.) as it does on the PROD build, with a dark green background matching the app theme.
