I found this old discussion: Is it possible to force close an app on ios?

Is there any new way (and easier) to kill an iOS app?

    return ApplicationState.ofCode(CommandExecutionHelper.execute(this,
            new AbstractMap.SimpleEntry<>(QUERY_APP_STATE, ImmutableMap.of("bundleId", bundleId))));
}


/**

 *
 * @param bundleId the bundle identifier (or app id) of the app to be terminated.
 * @return true if the app was running before and has been successfully stopped.
 */
default boolean terminateApp(String bundleId) {
    return terminateApp(bundleId, null);
}
