I believe in this application one would rather say "continue being". Both are correct, however "continue being" allows for less of a pause in the sentence tempo when read. Being can be defined as in existence and the Application Bar is an instance that can be called into existence, thereby displayed on screen, being is the appropriate noun to use.

One might suggest, if you are looking at properly wording the sentence, add "or not" after "whether" so the sentence would be as follows: This feature allows setting whether or not the Application Bar will continue being visible when the end-user scrolls down the content.
