Flutter how to programmatically exit the app

How can I programmatically close a Flutter application. I've tried popping the only screen but that results in a black screen.

Solution

  • For iOS

    SystemNavigator.pop(): Does NOT WORK

    exit(0): Works but Apple may SUSPEND YOUR APP

    For Android

    SystemNavigator.pop(): Works and is the RECOMMENDED way of exiting the app.

    exit(0): Also works but it's NOT RECOMMENDED as it terminates the Dart VM process immediately and user may think that the app just got crashed.
