Just got the new S8 and I'm trying to update my android (react-native) apps because there is a black bar on top of the screen because of the app scaling of the ratio 37:18 / 18.5:9. Adding fixed height and width to the app doesn't work I still get that black bar in top. Removing the statusbar seems like removing a bit on top and at the bottom.

As an example I created a new react-native app but a native Android has the same problems.

Got it! Jeej.

Found out via a post of Nato Marin you can just add <meta-data android:name="android.max_aspect" android:value="2.1" /> in the <application> element in your AndroidManifest.xml.

Result: Black bar gone :)
