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

然后再拿回来

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

不要忘记这句话，否则它可能并不总是有效:

[standardUserDefaults synchronize];

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"];

对于Swift，我创建了两个函数，它们将从首选项中保存和检索值。

这对你很有帮助。

//保存对象

static func setObject(value:AnyObject ,key:String)
{
    let pref = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
    pref.setObject(value, forKey: key)
    pref.synchronize()
}

static func getObject(key:String) -> AnyObject
{
    let pref = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
    return pref.objectForKey(key)!
}

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

然后再拿回来

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