iPhone does not recognize PhoneGap's navigator.app

Question

I have a button to exit from the application. The function looks like this:

//Close application
function close_window() {
  navigator.app.exitApp();
}


        

Answer 1

navigator.app.exitApp() does not work on IOS, only Android. On iOS, Apple does not allow apps to programmatically exit.

It can be done through iOS objective c side but there's a good chance this app will be rejected in Apple app store.
