Do iOS users expect a quit/exit button on the title screen?

Im asking as on Android, the user can hit the "back" button which removes activities from the stack and when all activities are removed for an app it quits... but iOS doesnt have a "back" button, just the "home" button...

Thanks!

I haven't seen a quit button in many apps so I guess no. At least I don't expect it.

iOS users use the home button.

Perhaps I can put my question here, as it relates to this:

Is there, in general, a way to actively end (exit) an application?

In Windows Phone 7 I now seem to have the Back button working (checking for JoyHit(JOY_BACK) in the monkey code). But in the emulator, while the game responds to the Back button being pressed, the phone doesn't actually go "back". So I wondered if I can actively end the application. On the other hand, I guess this shouldn't be necessary.

The offical Monkey way is:

Error ""

But I wrap this in a function called ExitApp, as it makes more sense:

Function ExitApp:Void()
	Error ""
End

Thanks! Good to know this.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd mention that I had an app rejected because it had an exit button in it, so yeah that's 100% reason to not have one.
