Wanting to programmatically terminate an iPhone application is typically indicative of a design flaw. On iPhone, only the user decides when to exit an application. Why do you feel you need to override the user here?

Good point. And as soon as I posted my message, I remembered something I'd read somewhere: don't terminate the app yourself; display an alert to the user apologising for the inconvenience and asking them to terminate the app themselves with the Home button. If only every computer worked that way...


In this specific instance, I'm getting an intermittent infinite loop in the simulator that I can't seem to reproduce. Definitely a design flaw. So the termination was to be for debuggering purposes only.
