I am building out an Ionic app in Angular and ave never been able to get plugins to work.

As an example, I have tried using the statusbar plugin as described here:

http://ionicframework.com/tutorials/fullscreen-apps/

But it still shows in my app. I tried:

$ cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.statusbar

and then cordova prepare, ionic run ios and still no luck.

The plugins I get listed when I type

$ cordova plugin list



com.ionic.keyboard 1.0.2 Keyboard

org.apache.cordova.console 0.2.10 Console

org.apache.cordova.device 0.2.11 Device

org.apache.cordova.statusbar 0.1.7 StatusBar

I also am using Gulp. I have a folder with all my dev work in, and gulp moves and compiles it into a /dist folder from whence it is served. I'm pretty sure the plugins are moved across perfectly, is there anywhere I should check the references?

Any ideas if there is something you have to do in order to use Cordova plugins with Ionic?
