How do I place a button in the status bar like in the Photos app?
I dare say Apple would have placed it without using ignoresSafeArea.

I did something similar with the code below.

VStack {
  HStack {
    Button(action: addItem) {
      Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus")
    }.padding([.top, .leading], 25)
    Spacer()
                
  }.ignoresSafeArea()
  Node()
}

My code
