Platform-Specific Details

Android

• On Android, this module uses System.exit(0) to force the application to close.

iOS

• On iOS, force-closing the app programmatically is not recommended by Apple. This module provides a similar functionality, but it is advised to implement a confirmation alert before using this feature to ensure a better user experience.
