The status bar colour is rendered by the Android system. Whether that can be set from Flutter or not is up for debate: How to make Android status bar light in Flutter

What you can do however, is change the status bar colour in the Android specific code by editing the theme: How to change the status bar color in android

For iOS you'll have to see their documentation - I'm not familiar with the platform.

There are in fact two Dart libraries, one for setting the light/dark theme of the statusbar and the other for setting the colour. I haven't used either, but clearly someone else has had the same issue you're facing and ended up developing their own package.
