How can one make their application exit completely from the device?
Hello,
Are you asking about adding an option to programmatically exit the app?
Or on how exit an application for testing purposes?
Mobile apps should not have an option to close.
Here are some links to Apple's documentation on this subject:
- developer.apple.com/.../StartingStopping.html
(See section "Always Be Prepared to Stop".)
- developer.apple.com/.../Multitasking.html
- developer.apple.com/.../_index.html
If you just want to terminate a mobile app for testing, then you can access the multi-tasking options and remove the running app from the list. iOS and Android provides ways to do this.
I hope this helps.

From an UI design / OS consistency point of view, applications should (must) not include an option to exit the app.
Here are a couple of quotes from Apple's documentation:
An iOS app never displays a Close or Quit option. People stop using an app when they switch to another app, return to the Home screen, or put their devices in sleep mode. A: There is no API provided for gracefully terminating an iOS application.
