Not able to switch between applications in IOS

Hi All,

I have an automation testbed for IOS which uses robot framework + Appium on MAC.
I need to switch between my application on IOS (Iphone 6) and Settings. Once Settings is opened, I am not able to switch back to my application.
Can you please suggest some ideas on how to do it.

driver.runAppInBackground(-1); //take ur app in background, -1 for uncertain duration

driver.launchApp(); // bring ur app in foreground

    driver.runAppInBackground(Duration.ofSeconds(4));
    assertThat(System.currentTimeMillis() - msStarted, greaterThan(3000L));
}

    // This only works since Xcode9
    try {
        if (Double.parseDouble(
                (String) driver.getCapabilities()
