更准确地说

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

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

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

下面是如何对Swift做同样的事情;

var valueToSave = "someValue"
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(valueToSave, forKey: "preferenceName")

以后把它拿回来;

if let savedValue = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("preferenceName") {
    // Do something with savedValue
}

在Swift 3.0中

var valueToSave = "someValue"
UserDefaults.standard.set(valueToSave, forKey: "preferenceName")

if let savedValue = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "preferenceName") {

}

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!

更准确地说

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

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

-(void)saveToUserDefaults:(NSString*)string_to_store keys:(NSString *)key_for_the_String
{
    NSUserDefaults *standardUserDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];

    if (standardUserDefaults) {
        [standardUserDefaults setObject:string_to_store forKey:key_for_the_String];
        [standardUserDefaults synchronize];
    }
}

叫它:

[self saveToUserDefaults:@"string_to_store" : @"key_for_the_string"];

使用以下方法检索字符串:

NSString * stored_string = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringforkey:key_for_the_String]
