react-native-close-app

*** DEPRECATED and NOT MAINTAINED anymore, mostly since I don't need it anymore ***

React Native code snippet to Exit/Close Application. It uses the built-in BackHandler module on android but on ios it requires a new native module.

Installation

Add the files from the ios directory to your ios project. Add the files from the src directory to your react-native source directory. Run react native run-ios, your ios project should compile.

Usage

import { exitApp } from "../../services/exit";
exitApp(); //exits the app with return code 0
//exitApp(true); //on ios will exit the app with code 1

Motivation

While there is an existing react-native module that does pretty much the same thing, it is under GPL licence, which means I can't use it in a closed-source app. I also wanted to add an exit code on ios and use the built-in BackHandler on android and not a Native Module.

Warning

It is considered bad practice to exit the application without user interaction, and Apple might frown in the apporoval process.
