Same situation for me!
Found a solution by using sys.exit().

How can this help with exit() crashes?

from pythonista-issues.

The linter should fail when it sees exit() and tell you to use sys.exit() instead.

Can we close this issue given that we have an effective workaround?

from pythonista-issues.

Although sys.exit provides a workaround, the exit still crashes the app. This is quite unexpected, and may cause losing file or data.

(think of you are using PyCharm to debug a script, and an exit() call terminates the PyCharm.)

If this is by design, maybe should be better provided by package pythonista or editor

from pythonista-issues.

Even if the linter provide a warning about exit() calls, it is not so cool, to deal with unexpected crashes. And for example I am not actively using linter tool.
Will be a label assigned to this issue? Thank you in advance for fixing this!
