Something like this should work:

def pytest_funcarg__app(request):
    """Create app funcarg"""
    return request.cached_setup(
        setup=_get_app,  #this should return an app object
        teardown=_release_app, #destroy things here
        scope='function')

def test_something(app):
   pass
