    A PhoneGap-iPhone application is just a regular Xcode iPhone project.

    Add UIStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque to your Info.plist.

    1. Open your Xcode project (e.g. MyApp.xcodeproj)
    2. Open your Info.plist file (e.g. MyApp-Info.plist)
    3. Add a new row:
      • Key: Status bar style
      • Value: Opaque black style

    If you are viewing the RAW Key/Value pairs, then use:

    <key>UIStatusBarStyle</key>  
<string>UIStatusBarStyleBlackOpaque</string>

    You can right-click in MyApp-Info.plist to toggle the RAW Key/Value pairs.
