Android app freezes after launch...

[piyushmanurkar]

Short description of the problem:

Launch app first time, its run perfect... but when close android app using
ionic.Platform.exitApp();
and relaunch app by tapping on app icon...
After splash screen hide, app freezes/stuck...

But when kill app from task manager, and launch it runs perfect...

What behavior are you expecting?

App run as run on first time...

@piyushmanurkar So after some research we have decided that we cannot recommend that you use this method and have decided to remove it. It will still work, but we cannot support it at this time. There are operating system restrictions that cause issues with this method on ios, and Android does not seem to like it either. Also, as a UX consideration (although i am not a user experience expert at all (: ) it is probably best to not have a close app button in your app as the operating system is supposed to handle app lifecycles. Thanks for using Ionic, i hope i explained everything clearly!

@piyushmanurkar in addition, Apple could reject your app, if they notice that you deliberately try to exit your app programatically.
