How to create immersive fullscreen application in React Native (Expo)?

Question

I want to create Immersive Fullscreen application with React Native (Expo). After many hour's of research online, I only got solutions which are applicable for bare react native project only which include editing MainActivity.java file.

From the Documentation for app.json - expo, I changed the app.json by adding following lines

    "androidNavigationBar": {
        "visible": "immersive",
    }

Before Adding the above lines, my application would look like this

However, after adding the lines and recompiling the application it looks like this (Changed Black Color into Red)

What I want is to remove the black part (Red in second image) - replacement of StatusBar with the <View /> of my application.

app.json
