NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit(); problem in iOS app

Question

Have this function called to exit an iOS app:
function ExitApp(event:MouseEvent):void {
          listenIO(urAt,0);
          trace('NativeApplication Exit');
          NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
The function is triggered as the listenIO() does its thing and the trace() triggers, but no exit(). Closing the iOS app by the hardware menu button exits but when re-entering the app, it is stll where it was left and I don't have a function to return to a preset state.
Help to exit the app appreciated, thank you.

Answer 1

One way to get around exit() not working on iOS might be to set the following property in your iPhone section of your app XML:
<iPhone>
          <key>UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend</key>
          <true/>
</iPhone>
That would force your application to exit on suspend (aka the user pressing the hardware button)
