Answer 1

You can achieve the following way :
import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.MobileElement;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import java.io.File;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
public class SampleTest {
AppiumDriver<?> appiumDriver;
final String URL_STRING = "http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub";
URL url = new URL(URL_STRING);
public SampleTest() throws MalformedURLException {
}
#BeforeTest
public void beforeTest() {
File appDir = new File("path to ipa file");
File app = new File(appDir, "app.ipa");
DesiredCapabilities iOSCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
iOSCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM, "iOS");
iOSCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "XCUITest");
iOSCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "iPhone6s");
iOSCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "11.2.1");
iOSCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, "udid");
iOSCapabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, app.getAbsolutePath());
appiumDriver = new IOSDriver(url, iOSCapabilities);
}
#Test
public void test() {
//perform some test
}
#AfterTest
public void afterTest() {
// following command will close and restart the app
appiumDriver.resetApp();
}
}

Answer 2

use the driver driver.resetApp(), like this
try{
LOG.debug("reset app");
driver.resetApp();
} catch (WebDriverException e){
LOG.error("ERROR on reset app, e: ",e);
}

Appium allows you to start any pre-installed app on the device, so you can use closeApp first and then launchApp with your app bundle id:
// closing app
driver.closeApp();
// launch app again
HashMap<String, Object> args = new HashMap<>();
args.put("bundleId", APP_BUNDLE_ID);
driver.executeScript("mobile: launchApp", args);
