How to close application using button ionic

[iignatov]

I just want to add a few notes to the following answer:

@bea

This is the correct way in ionic 2

• An additional Cordova plugin might be needed:

@tushar4ic

I am able to exit the app after adding a separate cordova plugin.

• And AFAIK it’s not possible/recommended on iOS:

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.

• Therefore, I would not recommend you to do it and to rethink your UI instead:

@abman

I would advise to route it to a login page in your app and place a button in there to go back to square one if the user changes their mind.
