Close application command

Closes an application on the device. The application process is killed, not minimized. If you reopen the application, the application will launch from the start page. (If you minimize the application, for example by using the Home button, the application will launch from the last page previously open.)

To use this command, the application identifier is required. For information on retrieving the application identifier, see Application identifier.

This command does not clear the cache. Service applications that live forever in the background may be auto-relaunched.

Tip: To close an iOS application, you can use assistive touch (go to Settings > Accessibility > Assistive Touch) or uninstall the application.
