can the OS force the status bar to show at times?

[faceyspacey]

I'm worried that the React Native APIs to hide the status bar can be overriden by the OS. This is particularly a problem for this reason: if you design your app to not include a status bar, but then iOS forces it to show for some reason, then it could break the design of your app.

I'm wondering if and when are the times it can be forced to show? Is it only phone calls or recording video in another app and that sort of thing? Or can it just appear for less important reasons (and often) whenever the iOS wants to?
