Quit simulator programmatically swift

Question

I have an alert window in my code with two buttons 'Ok' and 'Exit'. I want quit simulator when 'Exit' is pressed.

func alertWindow() {
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Alert", message: "Isn't type of gesture", preferredStyle: UIAlertController.Style.alert)
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertAction.Style.cancel, handler: nil))
    alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Exit", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: { (action: UIAlertAction!) in
        // Quite simulator here
    }))

    self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

}

What do you mean with "quit simulator", quitting the app running in the simulator? — Joakim Danielson, Oct 17 '19 at 08:41

This is not possible and there is no need to do it, except while you test your app. You should write a testing script that will be executed when you test your app. Then you should add something like this in your script:

sudo killall "iOS Simulator"

After that, you can call the script within the code with something like this Answer (Check 1st & 2nd answers)

There is NO legit way of doing it in iOS like Android. The only way you can do what you want is to force a crash on pressing the Exit button.

For example, declare an optional variable with nil value and unwrap it, although it is not recommended to exit your app this way.

or you could just call `fatalError()` but either way Apple may reject it if they discover that – Scriptable Oct 17 '19 at 08:46
