closeApp

Close a specific app or the currently active app on the device.

Note: Falls back to the deprecated Appium 2 protocol endpoint if the driver does not support the mobile: execute method.

If no bundleId (iOS) or appId (Android) is provided, the command will automatically detect and close the currently active app.

Usage

browser.closeApp({ bundleId, appId })

Parameters

Name	Type	Details
options optional	object	Options for closing the app (optional)
options.bundleId optional	string	The bundle ID of the iOS app to close. If not provided, the currently active app is closed. iOS-ONLY
options.appId optional	string	The package name of the Android app to close. If not provided, the currently active app is closed. ANDROID-ONLY

Example

closeApp.js

it('should close the currently active app', async () => {
    // Automatically close the currently active app
    await browser.closeApp()
})
it('should close a specific iOS app by bundleId', async () => {
    // iOS: close a specific app using its bundle ID
    await browser.closeApp({ bundleId: 'com.example.myapp' })
})
it('should close a specific Android app by appId', async () => {
    // Android: close a specific app using its package name
    await browser.closeApp({ appId: 'com.example.myapp' })
})
