更准确地说

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

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

在Swift5和Xcode 10.2中

//Save
UserDefaults.standard.set(true, forKey: "Key1") //Bool
UserDefaults.standard.set(1, forKey: "Key2")  //Integer
UserDefaults.standard.set("This is my string", forKey: "Key3") //String
UserDefaults.standard.synchronize()
        
//Retrive
UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "Key1")
UserDefaults.standard.integer(forKey: "Key2")
UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "Key3")
            
//Remove
UserDefaults.standard.removeObject(forKey: "Key3")

注意:保存文本数据(意味着字符串，数组，字典等)在UserDefaults。

不要将图片保存在UserDefaults中，不推荐(保存图片在本地目录)。

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!

NSString *valueToSave = @"someValue";
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:valueToSave forKey:@"preferenceName"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

然后再拿回来

NSString *savedValue = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]
    stringForKey:@"preferenceName"];

斯威夫特更新了:

let userID = "BOB"  

宣布userDefaults:

let defaults = UserDefaults.standard
defaults.setValue(userID, forKey: "userID")

并得到它:

let userID = defaults.object(forKey: "userID")

[nsusudefaults默认:aString forKey:aKey]
