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

This method only exists for JVM and Native targets. It is not in the common standard library.

is there no multiplatform way to do this?

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:
```expect fun exitApplication()```
jvmMain:
```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
