Close Mobile Application

The Close Mobile Application block is used to close an active mobile application running on a connected device. It identifies the target app using its Bundle Id and attempts to terminate it within the specified timeout.

This block is useful for cleaning up between test steps, resetting app state, or simulating user behavior in mobile test flows.

Fully expanded, the Close Mobile Application block shows the following properties:
