NSUserDefaults Settings Bundle Plist

Question

I have an app that checks for a file upon load from the appDelegate\'s appDidFinishLoading method using a url value that I supposedly store in the NSUserDefaults Settings Root P

Answer 1

Turns out I was missing this line:

nsUserDefURL = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:kFirstNameKey];  

But this only reads the default value each launch. It won't save the user modified value in the app settings. Why is that value not being saved?

Answer 2

You'll need to explicitly save it. For example, if strFirstName is the value that the user modified, then you would save it to the app settings by

 NSUserDefaults* ud = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
 [ud setObject:strFirstName forKey:kFirstNameKey];
 [ud sychronize];
