In some case you cannot close app when call [NSApp terminate:self];. Like when showing NSAlert as sheet on the doc window (NSAlert -beginSheetModalForWindow:completionHandler:) ...

You can close all window and alert before call terminate, like following code:

for (NSWindow *window in [NSApplication sharedApplication].windows) {
    [window close];
}
[NSApp terminate:self];

There is a simpler form to quit from code:

[NSApp terminate:self];

But as you're adding a button, all you have to do is to control drag from your button to the Application icon and connect the method terminate:.
