How can I simulate app being killed in background?

Question

I\'m trying to verify that my app (App1) behaves correctly when it is shut down by the system after it launches another app (App2). Is there any way to simulate or force this be

Answer 1

You should be able to:

• Tap the home button, to take you to the home screen
• Tap the home button twice (use the keyboard shortcut in the simulator)
• Touch and hold the icon at the bottom until it starts to wiggle
• Tap the dash circle - to remove it from memory

This gives you the app delegate methods of going into the background, etc. This is how it works in iOS 6 and below.
