Answer 1

Please see: How do I programmatically quit my iPhone application?

WARNING: It is possible to quit the application by calling exit. Applications calling exit will appear to the user to have crashed, rather than performing a graceful termination and animating back to the Home screen. Such usage provides a negative experience and is strongly discouraged.

Instead of it, If you want your app to terminate when the user presses the home button, set the value of UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend to YES in your app's Info.plist file. If you do this, when the user taps the home button the applicationWillTerminate: method of your app delegate will be called and then your application will terminate.
