I want the user to start the app and leave it running. At one point, the app will finish what it is doing and will shut itself down.
How can I do that in Objective-C?

  • @ChiragKothiya, thank you for your edit: I've approved it. Just note that instead of using `
    `, you can use the markup syntax of two spaces and a new line. See my subsequent edit.     – Cœur Jun 27 '18 at 07:59

This is possible by using method:

exit(0);

However, be warned that Human Interface Guideliness discourage the use of this function, as it looks as if the application had crashed. The good solution for such a usecase is to prompt user that the application has finished working, and that he may close it now.

Hope this helps, Paul
