tray icon doesn't close immediately on app.quit in electron

Question

I am using electron tray in my application but when I quit the app ,the tray doesn't close immediately.Instead on hover, it closes immediately .Is there any solution that I can use to avoid this?

When you quit your app do you press `Ctrl`+`C` in the terminal or do you call `app.quit()`? If its `Ctrl`+`C` then I don't think you can fix it but if it's `app.quit()` then my answer should work. — Joshua, Aug 29 '18 at 08:37

Try destroying the tray icon before the app quits like this:

app.on('before-quit', function (evt) {
    tray.destroy();
});

tray.destroy() Docs.

before-quit Event docs.
