Swift 3更新

func setObject(value:AnyObject ,key:String)
{
    let pref = UserDefaults.standard
    pref.set(value, forKey: key)
    pref.synchronize()
}

func getObject(key:String) -> AnyObject
{
    let pref = UserDefaults.standard
    return pref.object(forKey: key)! as AnyObject
}

在Swift 4.0.3 Xcode 9

============set  Data in UserDefaults =========

  UserDefaults.standard.set(userName, forKey: "userName")
  UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()

============Get Data in UserDefaults =========

  let userName = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "userName")
  print(userName ?? "Gera")

  userNameTextField.text = ""+userName!

一个好的做法是使用一个常量作为键，以避免在不存储和读取相同键的情况下出现错误

NSString* const TIME_STAMPS_KEY = @"TIME_STAMPS_KEY";

就像这样:

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

// saving an NSString
[prefs setObject:@"TextToSave" forKey:@"keyToLookupString"];

然后检索:

NSUserDefaults *prefs = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

// getting an NSString
NSString *myString = [prefs stringForKey:@"keyToLookupString"];

你应该看看苹果的NSUserDefaults类参考，也可以看看这个教程:iPhone编程教程-使用NSUserDefaults保存/检索数据

用于保存:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setObject:@"YES" forKey:@"KTerminated"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]synchronize];

对于检索使用这个:

[[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]stringForKey:@"KTerminated"] isEqualToString:@"YES"];

更准确地说

-(void)saveToUserDefaults:(NSString*)myString
{
    NSUserDefaults *standardUserDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

    if (standardUserDefaults) {
        [standardUserDefaults setObject:myString forKey:@"timestamps"];
        [standardUserDefaults synchronize];
    }
}
