'm curious why you titled this "Anti cheaters measures needed". Do you believe disconnecting is cheating?
Although it may be slightly inconvenient, it is definitely not "cheating." There are cases of real cheating where the hacker forces their opponent to disconnect right when they are about to lose which needs to be dealt with but the "issue" you are complaining about is a non-issue. So you have to wait a few extra seconds for a win, big deal.
Also it would be pretty hard for the game to be able to differentiate disconnecting due to the app crashing from disconnecting due to closing the app. And if people wanted to they could just throw their phone in airplane mode and avoid the penalty if Popcap were to make more of a penalty for force-quit rather than loss of internet connection. EA will not change it because as it stands it is not an issue.
