Absolutely not. From the Human Interface Guidelines:

Don’t Quit Programmatically

Never quit an iOS application programmatically because people tend to interpret this as a crash. However, if external circumstances prevent your application from functioning as intended, you need to tell your users about the situation and explain what they can do about it.

If you want to reset the session, you should have a way of resetting your state from within the app and returning to its first screen (if applicable).
