NSUserDefaults. setValue works, Not setBool

Question

I trying to store some settings in NSUserDefaults, but It seems that the app won\'t store the setBool values.

This works:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUs

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem. Everything EXCEPT BOOLs were persisting correctly; but i was using some old coding styles from ios 3. recoded this way, everything works.

If anybody else is using old books.... here is an example

Bad stuff:

//////////// set / get bL2R
if (![[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
      boolForKey:kL2RomanizationChoice]) {
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
     setBool:YES
     forKey:kL2RomanizationChoice];
    bL2R = YES;
    NSLog(@"L2Rom not found, set to YES.");
}
else {
    bL2R   = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
              boolForKey:kL2RomanizationChoice];
    NSLog(@"L2Rom found.");
    if (bL2R) {
        NSLog(@"L2Rom found to be YES.");
    }

}

Good stuff:

if (![defaults boolForKey:kL2RomanizationChoice])
    [defaults setBool:YES forKey:kL1RomanizationChoice];

L2String_Setting = [defaults objectForKey:kSecondLangChoice];
bL2R = [defaults boolForKey:kL2RomanizationChoice];

Update: sadly this only seemed to work briefly, and now is failing again... using Xcode 4.5.2. may just swap out bools for integers...
