[Question] Modify exitApp method or add new one to gracefully close the app

[juanchoperezj]

I was investigating when I came across this library and saw this answer, outdated, but I also saw other comments on an Apple Developer forum stating that there are discussions about the AppStore rejecting application with this feature.

So, doing some tests with the current exitApp method by adding the following:

RCT_EXPORT_METHOD(exitApp)
{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] performSelector:@selector(suspend)];
    });
};

The app is not killed instead, is close gracefully doing the animation to the home screen, like in the video below:

Simulator.Screen.Recording.-.iPhone.14.Pro.-.2023-05-11.at.14.38.53.mp4

I want to know what could make more sense in order to have another way to close the app without killing it.
Would be good to have this feature at all? Of course, a different method to keep the other for those who seek close entirely the app.

I'm eager to work on this for both platforms.

Hi @juanchoperezj ,

This could indeed be a 'suspendApp' function within this library...
If you also look for the correct Android counterpart, you can add a pull request if you want. (I will never implement functionality that is not available for both platforms.)

Apple does not refuse apps based on the code itself, only on abuse of functionality. Clarify your intentions and need to kill/close the app in your specific use case to Apple if they make a problem of it.
