I am unable to use the
Copy code
exitProcess
function, I am assuming that this is the fault of kotlin multiplatform?

https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.system/exit-process.html This method only exists for JVM and Native targets. It is not in the common standard library.

No
What process would you be exiting if running this on JS?

You can make an `expect`/`actual` method for “exiting”, and then invoke that method from your common code
eg: commonMain:
Copy code
expect fun exitApplication()
jvmMain:
Copy code
actual fun exitApplication() {
  exitProcess(0)
}
…etc bindings for other targets you have configured

For JS I assume window.close() is similar?

probably ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ depends on the need of your application
Depending on your application, closing the entire tab may be a jarring experience

This is true but I imagine that if you call exitProcess or similar, your intention was not the smoother user experience
