{emoji:26a0} This is a follow up to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25425 -- which isn't merged yet… See https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/25919/files/2a286257a6553a80a34e2b1f1ad94fc7bae36ea3..125aedbedc234c65c8d1b2133b79e926ad6cf145 for actual diff
Currently, StatusBar native module manages the status bar on iOS globally, using `UIApplication.` APIs. This is bad because:
- those APIs have been deprecated for 4 years
- Apple really, really wants you to have an explicitly defined view controller, and control the status bar there
- it [breaks external native components](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25181#issuecomment-506792819)
- it's [not compatible with iPadOS 13 multi window support](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25181#issuecomment-506690818)
for those reasons I we should transition towards view controller-based status bar management.
With that, there is a need to introduce a default React Native root view controller, so I added `RCTRootViewController`. Using it is completely opt-in and there is no breaking change here. However I believe this should be a part of the template for new RN iOS apps.
Additionally, I added `RCTRootViewControllerProtocol` with hooks needed for RCTStatusBarManager to control the status bar. This means apps that want to have total control over their view controller can still opt in to react native VC-based status bar by conforming their root view controller to this protocol.
## Changelog
[iOS] [Added] - Added `RCTRootViewController` and `RCTRootViewControllerProtocol`
[iOS] [Fixed] - `UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance=YES` no longer triggers an error as long as you use `RCTRootViewController`
[iOS] [Fixed] - Status bar style is now correctly changed in multi-window iPadOS 13 apps if you use `RCTRootViewController` and set `UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance=YES`

Test Plan: - Open RNTester → StatusBar → and check that no features broke

Summary:
Files that are to be part of the user’s project shouldn’t have FB copyright notices.
There’s [one notice left](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/66601e755fcad10698e61d20878d52194ad0e90c/template/android/app/src/debug/java/com/helloworld/ReactNativeFlipper.java#L2) in the `android` template, which is in a file that doesn’t seem to be intended to be changed by the user and so that seems fine to me.
## Changelog
[iOS] [Removed] - Remove copyright notices from iOS application template

Summary:
The integration of Flipper on iOS was crashing the template, and `test_ios_e2e` were failing because of it.
Flipper integration must be wrapped inside `FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED`.
Flipper's issues with Yoga and YogaKit were solved in Flipper 0.28.0, so let's update our integration to it, and we'll need to use Swift.
We will be able to ship this in 0.62 (cc grabbou, axe-fb, priteshrnandgaonkar), and it should fix `test_ios_e2e` (cc hramos) � .
## Changelog
[iOS] [Fixed] - Fix Flipper integration on and update Flipper to 0.30.0
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/27426
Test Plan:
- Initialized an app with my branch as source.
- Added `[AppDelegate initializeFlipper:application];` to `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions`.
- Launched Flipper.
- Ran the app (debug).

- Ran the app (release).
- Everything succeeds, no Flipper connection available in release.

Summary:
I ran into a build error when `xcodebuild` would invoke a custom script (in my case `sentry-cli`):
```
error: Could not parse Info.plist file
caused by: invalid data
```
Upon further investigation it turned out the parse error was **caused by a comment**, and I found some other oddities with the default `Info.plist` template files:
- The problematic comment is a **dead link** (website does not exist)
- The main Info.plist contains a **duplicate entry** for `NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription`
- Some entries are _reordered_ and the comment is removed when modifying/saving the file in Xcode
This PR fixes these inconsistencies, unnecessary customizations, and potential sources of errors.

Summary:
The main goal of this change is to fix an issue that happens on iOS when the native app starts before the packager server is available which causes app reloads to fail continually until the app is restarted.
What happens is that with the current setup we call `RCTBundleURLProvider#jsBundleURLForBundleRoot` once in `AppDelegate#didFinishLaunchingWithOptions`. If at that point the packager server is not running yet it will return nil (expected behaviour) and that will be passed to the bridge constructor. Subsequent reloads will keep trying to load this nil bundle url since it has no way to ask `RCTBundleURLProvider` for a new url now that the packager is actually running.
We can fix this by using `RCTBridgeDelegate` instead which is a lot more flexible. Instead of passing the bundle url at construction time it will call the `sourceURLForBridge` method each time the bridge is reloaded. This means that even if the packager is not running yet and that `RCTBundleURLProvider` returns nil for the first invocation, subsequent reloads will call `RCTBundleURLProvider` again for a new value.
Changelog:
----------
[iOS] [Added] - Use RCTBridgeDelegate in the new project template

Summary: This diff moves the React Native template from `local-cli/templates/HelloWorld` to `template`. Keeping it in the react-native repo will allow us to make changes to the template and version it together with react-native, instead of moving it out into a separate repo and trying to keep the template in sync with RN.
