Subject: Status Bar & Navigation Bar Color Blocks Not Working After Update

Discuss

Hello Kodular Team,

After the recent update, I noticed an issue with the Status Bar Color and Navigation Bar Color blocks.

Problem:

The color set through blocks is not changing manually at runtime.
Instead, it automatically takes the color from the Project Settings → Theming.
This behavior started after the latest update.
Expected Behavior:

The Status Bar Color and Navigation Bar Color should update instantly when changed via blocks, regardless of the theme color in project settings.
Steps to Reproduce:

It limits dynamic theming in apps and breaks existing projects that rely on manual color changes via blocks.
Please look into this issue and provide a fix as soon as possible.

blocks (16)
All blocks are working fine, please can you show us how you’re handling them?

Check the block, I have used the same as you. You need to build the app using a different color and check it. Works properly in live testing

Did you try it in low version? Eg 15-

I tested the issue on multiple devices and found the following:

  • Samsung M13 (Android 14) → Working properly.
  • POCO (Android 15) → Not working.
  • Tecno (Android 15) → Not working.

Observation:
The issue seems to affect Android 15 devices, while it works as expected on Android 14 and below.
On Android 15, the colors are still being taken from Project Settings → Theming instead of updating via blocks.

@Diego are you aware of this?

Hello Kodular Team,

Following up on my earlier report regarding the Status Bar Color and Navigation Bar Color blocks not working after the recent update:

I tested the issue on multiple devices and found the following:

  • Samsung M13 (Android 14) → Working properly.
  • POCO (Android 15) → Not working.
  • Tecno (Android 15) → Not working.

Observation:
The issue seems to affect Android 15 devices, while it works as expected on Android 14 and below.
On Android 15, the colors are still being taken from Project Settings → Theming instead of updating via blocks.

Could you please confirm if this is a compatibility issue with Android 15, and whether a fix is planned in the upcoming updates?

Why creating new thread??

Why should I create a new thread for the same issue?
I already reported this bug, and it’s still not fixed. I am a paid subscription user, and this issue is seriously affecting my app design — especially on Android 15 devices.

I don’t think I should have to stay silent or keep making new threads when an unresolved bug is impacting UI and user experience. I expect proper follow-up and a clear timeline for the fix.

Hey @Saurabh_Kumar1

Those properties are experimental on new update and may not work on some android device. until they fix it please use them with caution.

thanks
