Try with this

ErrStrs = {}; ErrStrs.USER_CANCELLED=localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/Error/UserCancelled=User cancelled the operation");

try {var idquit = charIDToTypeID( 'quit' ); executeAction( idquit, undefined, DialogModes.ALL ); }

catch(e){if (e.toString().indexOf(ErrStrs.USER_CANCELLED)!=-1) {;}

    else{alert(localize("$$$/ScriptingSupport/Error/CommandNotAvailable=The command is currently not available"));}}

Hi -- I have tried the below code and It closes the Photoshop application but I still see that in Mac Dock (app open state). Any thoughts how to quit the application completely? Thanks.

var idquit = charIDToTypeID( 'quit' ); executeAction( idquit, undefined, DialogModes.ALL );
