Update:

This issue does not occur in older versions of the Bitwarden Android app. I tested the app using an earlier version (2024.11.1) and the artifact in the status bar was not present. This suggests that the problem may have been introduced in a recent update.

[gokulkgm]

Update:

This issue does not occur in version 2024.11.5.

Only 2024.11.6 seems to be affected.

[gokulkgm]

This issue is still reproducible in version 2024.11.7

I am faced with the same issue on the latest version.
If a dark theme has been chosen, the status bar is still light, see:

[SergeantConfused]

Hello,

Thank you both. I have flagged this matter to the Engineering department; please feel free to post additional information, such as screenshots or a screen video recordings, if you wish.

Thank you again,

@ashtanko @gokulkgm To help us investigate further, could you confirm if you changed the app theme within the app settings when the issue occurred?

[gokulkgm]

@curtis-livefront , No, I did not change the theme. It was set to the system default.

The issue also occurred when I factory reset the phone, installed the app from the Play Store, and switched the tabs back and forth. It is always reproducible with version 2024.11.6 and above.

Could you kindly investigate why this issue does not occur with version 2024.11.1 (Bitwarden Beta)?

Dear Team,

With the native app now rolled out and this issue consistently occurring on Android 15, has the root cause been identified, or is a fix currently in progress?
