App-bridge - Close App

I found in below docs that the POS Close Modal is Deprecated in app-bridge:

Is there really no alternatives to this method if my app is using app-bridge?

Hi @tomchan ,

 

There is no alternatives to this method in App Bridge. Do you have a good use case for it?

Hi Henry,

 

My app calculate discount and apply it to the cart. It's good if the app can close automatically after the discount is applied.

Hi, I see the Close action is now available but when I execute it nothing seems to happen. Did anyone manage to make it work?

Hi @FezVrasta 

Can you let me know what App Bridge version you are using? What platform (Android / iOS) are you testing?

Hi! I'm on 1.30.0 and I'm trying it on iOS (iPhone with latest iOS update)

If it helps, this is the code I'm sending, other App Bridge commands (such as Cart) work just fine.

 

 <!DOCTYPE html>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/@shopify/app-bridge@1.30.0/umd/index.js"></script>
  <script>
    const AppBridge = window['app-bridge'];
    const params = new URL(window.location.href).searchParams;
    const shop = params.get('shop');
    const shopifyApp = AppBridge.createApp({
      apiKey: 'xxxxxxxxxx',
      shopOrigin: shop,
    });
    const pos = AppBridge.actions.Pos.create(shopifyApp);
    pos.dispatch(AppBridge.actions.Pos.Action.CLOSE);
  </script>
