Application shutdown in MonoMac

I'm trying to shutdown a MonoMac application by using Environment.Exit(0). However, this call for some reason does not return. It does not throw an exception, either. When I execute the function in the immediate window in MonoDevelop, it times out.

I have no idea how to approach debugging this. I thought that Environment.Exit kills the process...

Solution

  • You should use the NSApplication.Terminate method instead.

    Note that this method may call the application delegate (if defined) to confirm the termination (See NSApplicationDelegate.ApplicationShouldTerminate).
