Other Technical Details

Works fine on Android
CODEX concluded that:
After regenerating the iOS project, the StatusBar plugin still fails to compile. The underlying issue appears to be an API mismatch between the plugin source and the Capacitor binary delivered via SwiftPM (different Swift interface/flags), so methods expected by the plugin are not available in the linked framework. This looks like a version/compatibility problem rather than a cache issue.”

Hey @echogit, I have not been able to reproduce it using your instructions. A few questions:

1. What Xcode version are you using (Capacitor 8 requires Xcode 26)
2. If you instead add as CocoaPods npx cap add ios --packagemanager CocoaPods, do you still get the error?
3. Are you getting the error in cap sync, or in building the app in Xcode?
