IOS Status bar is missing in the screenshot

I'm using React Native to create a mobile application.When I click on a button in my app, I need to programmatically take a screenshot of the current page of my application together with the iPhone status bar that shows the time, cellular provider, and battery level. However, my app page is being captured without having the statusbar.

My 'screenshot taken' function is written in Objective-C.

Is this happening because of any privacy-related concerns?

Would you kindly assist me with this?

Attaching the screenshot code,

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

#import <React/RCTBridgeModule.h>

#import <React/RCTLog.h>

@interface ScreenshotModule : NSObject <RCTBridgeModule>

@end

@implementation ScreenshotModule
