I have started to experiment with Xcode UI testing and with in my first few tests, I am observing that the app state is being retained between tests.

How I kill the app completely?

command only seems to put the app in background/suspend it

The XCUIApplication method terminate does terminate the running instance of the app, and does not only send it to the background in iOS

I am experiencing this same behavior under iOS 17.0. It works under 16.4.

I tested this on three Simulator configurations

iPhone 8+ 16.4 : terminate() works as expected

iPhone 14 Pro 16.4 iPhone 15 Pro 17.0 terminate() suspends the app instead of terminating it.
