How to set the root view controller's status bar to be hidden? - swift

Question

I am trying to show an Open Ad from Google Admob in my SwiftUI app. I am not too familiar with UIKit and stuff...
I am keep getting this error in my console: " Status bar could not be hidden for full screen ad. Ensure that your app is configured to allow full screen ads to control the status bar. For example, consider whether you need to set the childViewControllerForStatusBarHidden property on your ad's rootViewController."
How do I solve this?
// Extending Application to get RootView..
extension UIApplication {
func getRootViewController() -> UIViewController {
guard let scene = self.connectedScenes.first as? UIWindowScene else {
return .init()
}
guard let root = scene.windows.first?.rootViewController else {
return .init()
}
return root
}
}
