Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

If you want to hide the statusbar, please try to following ways.

For Android, please open MainActivity.cs, add Window.AddFlags(WindowManagerFlags.Fullscreen); and Window.ClearFlags(WindowManagerFlags.ForceNotFullscreen); to the OnCreate method like following code.

   protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)  
           {  
               base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);  
                 
               //add here  
               Window.AddFlags(WindowManagerFlags.Fullscreen);  
               Window.ClearFlags(WindowManagerFlags.ForceNotFullscreen);  
     
     
               Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState);  
               global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);  
               LoadApplication(new App());  
           }  

For iOS, please open Info.plist by XML(Text) editor, add following key-value pairs(Status bar is initially hidden – Type Boolean – Value Yes
View controller-based status bar appearance – Type Boolean – Value No) in the <dict> tag.

   <key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>  
   <true/>  
   <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>  
   <false/>  

Best Regards,
