Describe the bug

I am unable to use the GDevelop Android app on my Google Pixel 4 phone because the app's top menu bar is hidden behind the phone's status bar (the phone's top bar with time, notifications, battery etc). It is unclickble because of this.

There is no option in my phone's OS to force-hide the status bar. All Android documentation indicates that this is something that has to be fixed in the app and I should notify the developer.

I have waited a few months to see if this was fixed in an update, with no joy, so raising the issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install GDevelop on an Android Pixel 4 phone running Android 13.
2. Open GDevelop.
3. Observe how the app's top menu bar is hidden behind phone status bar and therefore unclickble.

Hi! Thanks for reporting this. While I don't have a Pixel 4 to test and things seem to work on a Pixel 7a, we've made a tentative fix using more recent Android APIs to recognize the status bar size. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next mobile app update (which should happen in a few days at most).

That's fantastic thank you. I think the problem is that my phone is too old! But thanks for attempting a fix and I will report back as soon as I have tried the new version.
