the modifier .ignoresSafeArea

Does the modifier ".ignoresSafeArea" work with iOS 14.5 and Xcode 12.5? I am attempting to use the code below to display an image as a full screen background, but the image fails to cover the top safe area. The image is located in an asset catalog.

            ZStack {

                

                VStack {

                Image(backGroundImage())

                    .resizable()

                    //.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)

                    //.aspectRatio(geometry.size, contentMode: .fill)

                    .opacity(luminosity)

                    .ignoresSafeArea()

                    .animation(.easeIn(duration: 0.75))

            } .ignoresSafeArea()
