How programmatically restart an iPhone app in iOS?

I find this way http://writeitstudios.com/david/?p=54

But may be something simple.

Answer 1

Your AppDelegate instance has a method

(void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
}

In here, you can put logic to figure out if the app should restart, or continue doing whatever it was doing. For example you can have a BOOL variable appMustRestart that is false at first but gets triggered as true whenever something happens in your app that you'd like the next time to be a fresh relaunch.

if (appMustRestart)
{
    [self resetVars];  // call a method that resets all your vars to initial settings

    // INSERT CODE HERE TO TRANSFER FOCUS TO INITIAL VIEWCONTROLLER
}
