Not sure if it is Gideros "only". Even if it looks like it works flawlessly, a hard exit via LUA is considered a crash on IOS and I think on Android now too. It would be better to follow the guide lines of Apple and Google on how to exit an app.

You can technically use it in Android apps and obviously in desktop apps (when that functionality exists) but basically having app's allow themselves to exit is against the Apple mobile interface guidelines - they don't like it so you can't call it - end of story!
Something about it breaking the illusion of an immersive experience - apps should suspend when you press home and then restart in the same place when you restart them (regardless of what happens in the background).

@techdojo nice explanation, i think the same way as you <> Please take a look:
Thank you for submitting your application to LG SmartWorld.
We have thoroughly reviewed and tested your application. However, your submitted application has failed to our test due to functional failure as below:
Defects:
1. "Exit" button does not exist. And unable to using "back key" on phone.
*Step: Execute app> Back button> Observe result
All devices same with P920. We look forward to your continued interest.
This sounds funny but is the Android "Smart" World of LG, so anyway to create a exit/resume app button with this: Application:exit() ? - Thanks;
Sorry for the bump on the thread but I figured it'd be better to ask it here than to ask a new question.
I want to make an exit button and after reading this thread I wondered if it's still the case that exit buttons shouldn't be in the game, or if it has changed since 2012. Also if you know what's the case for iOS and Android.

Instead respond to the various application lifecycle events and do you state saving / clear up there.
