[solved] How/can an iOS app self-terminate

[d000hg]

Because I've ported my PC app to run on iOS, I still have the GUI menu-bar with an option "Exit". This just triggers a call to

Code: Select all

m_renderWindow->destroy();

It works on Windows/Mac because my message loop detects the RW is gone and exits. But obviously iOS has no such message loop - so my app simply stops rendering when I click 'exit'.

Is there a way to make an iOS app self-exit, or does that totally break the whole iOS UX?

You'll have to double check the app guidelines but I would bet that having an exit button would get you rejected.

Ah, I hadn't even found such clear rules existed. You're right - for anyone else finding this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7155 ... guidelines
