    Alert.alert(
        'Exit App',
        'Are you sure you want to close the application?',
        [
          {text: 'Cancel', style: 'cancel'},
          {text: 'Yes', onPress: () => ReactNativeAppExit.exitApp()},
        ]
    );
  };

  const handleRestartApp = () => {
    Alert.alert(
        'Restart App',
        'Are you sure you want to restart the application?',
        [
          {text: 'Cancel', style: 'cancel'},
          {text: 'Yes', onPress: () => ReactNativeAppExit.restartApp()},
        ]
    );
  };

  return (
      <View style={{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center'}}>
        <Button title="Exit App" onPress={handleExitApp}/>
        <Button title="Restart App" onPress={handleRestartApp}/>
      </View>
  );
};

export default App;

Platform-Specific Details

Android

• On Android, this module uses System.exit(0) to force the application to close.

iOS

• On iOS, force-closing the app programmatically is not recommended by Apple. This module provides a similar functionality, but it is advised to implement a confirmation alert before using this feature to ensure a better user experience.
