Xcode saving : home vs stop simulator - iphone

When I press play and then stop in Xcode, my code saves to my sqlite3 database. However, when I press play and then home instead of pressing stop, it doesn't save. I had the terminal open and checked the database in deriveddata each time I tested the saving function. I don't have any code in:
(void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application
nor do I have any code in:
(void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application.
I save to the database directly when the user presses a button. What's the difference between the home button in the simulator and the stop button in Xcode?

Home Button will minimize your application (applicationDidEnterBackground will be called) And pressing stop button terminate your application. By quick double pressing home button you can see minimized applications by tapping one of the application icon will make your app active again from backgound state.

Shut down iPhone in simulator

This might seem like a strange question, but can I actually shut down the iPhone and restart it in the iPhone simulator? I want to do this to see if my settings are saved and reloaded when the app is relaunched AFTER shutdown.
Thanks
Yes. Press Command+Q to quit the simulator.
This will close all the apps running in the simulator.
Pressing the home button only returns to the home screen without quitting the apps(ios 4 or later) because of multitasking.
You can also double tap the home button, click and hold on the icons at the bottom of the screen till a red circle appear, and click on the red circle to close the running app.
As of XCode 9, the best way to close a single simulator is using the Cmd + W shortcut, or going to File -> Close Window.
If your'e xcode 9.You can now shutdown the simulator by long-pressing the power button.
To close/shutdown one simulated device without closing other simulations, select the device you want to shut down then go to "File" and choose "Close Window".

What can be causing the problem that I can't make a screenshot from my iPhone app in the Organizer window?

For some reason, when I press "Capture" while my device is connected and running the app (launched via Build & Run in Xcode), nothing happens. Never get a screenshot. iPhone OS 3.0. What can be the problem.
I've had this problem—it seems to be caused by there being a screenshot currently selected in the Organizer. Click on the left-hand screenshot pane to highlight it (i.e. deselect whatever screenshot thumbnail is selected), then hit the Capture button.
