adb shell am force-stopInvoke this skill when the user:
brew install android-platform-toolsNavigate to the Android app directory:
cd path/to/android/app
Run the stop script:
./stop-app.sh
The script will:
adb shell am force-stopInform the user:

The script uses:
adb shell am force-stop com.miso.noobtestThis Android framework command:
force-stop (recommended):
kill (not recommended):
Before deploying new version:
./stop-app.sh ./install-device.sh
Pairing with restart:
./stop-app.sh # Make configuration changes ./restart-app.sh
Clean state testing:
./stop-app.sh # Clear app data manually if needed adb shell pm clear com.miso.noobtest # Then install fresh
"no devices found":
adb devicesadb kill-server && adb start-server"adb: command not found":
brew install android-platform-toolsApp still running after force-stop:
adb shell pidof com.miso.noobtestadb shell pm clear com.miso.noobtestThis script is safe to call repeatedly:
The script is configured for the specific app's package name (e.g.,
com.miso.noobtestapplicationIdforce-stopTo fully clear app state, use:
adb shell pm clear com.miso.noobtest
But this will require reinstallation and setup.
