iOS simulator: double click home button does not work sometimes

Question

With the iOS simulator version 10, double clicking the home button to bring up multitasking (running apps) sometimes does not respond. Even hitting (cmd + shift + h)x2 to simula

Answer 1

I have this problem too when I want to close my app. So, I use command line instead:

xcrun simctl list | grep Booted

then copy simulator ID, and run this command to close app

xcrun simctl terminate  

... or if you have only one simulator running, just type booted:

xcrun simctl terminate booted
