Status bar color follows wrong color variable

[Nezz]

iOS device model, version and app version

Model Name: iPhone 15 Pro
Software Version: iOS 17.4.1
App version: 2024.624

Home Assistant Core Version
2024.4.4, 2024.5.0-b4

Describe the bug
The color of the status bar follows the --app-header-background-color variable. This is inconsistent with the browser where it follows --app-theme-color. It'd be nice to use that variable if it's set.

To Reproduce
Create a theme which sets app-theme-color:

app-theme-color: "#88827B" # Average header color, used on the top of the browser

Expected behavior
--app-theme-color should be used if it's set. The header color could still be used as a fallback.

Additional context
The frontend sets the theme color here:
https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/blob/7120ad99b9bdd3d6dc648deb6ae5285d986f8744/src/state/themes-mixin.ts#L134

In the default theme the value of --app-header-background-color and --app-theme-color is the same.

I had to revert the PR, the app theme color doesn't always match the navigation bar, which makes it look weird in some situations like dark mode using the default themes

@bgoncal I think that should be fixed by this:
home-assistant/frontend#20671

Looks like the fix doesn't work. I'll try to get it patched up.

Let's wait a bit until this ir tested in the frontend and we are sure it will behave as expected, but I will keep this on the radar, feel free to drop a message in a week or two

Sounds good. I opened the fix:
home-assistant/frontend#20758

[bgoncal]

Closing this issue since both frontend and mobile PR's were merged, let me know in case its not behaving as expected

Thank you. I grabbed the latest build from TestFlight. It's now the right color in light mode, but in dark mode the color does not change to the dark one.
Edit: This was a problem specific to my theme
