See NSUserDefaults file content
(4 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I have an app where I store all of the user preferences in NSUserDefaults. I would like to be able to see (for debugging purposes) the complete contents of the NSUserDefaults file.
Can it be done without providing each of the keys?

Answer 1

Can it be done without providing each of the keys?
You can use dictionaryRepresentation of NSUserDefaults like that below example:-
NSUserDefaults *def=[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[def setObject:#"test1" forKey:#"test1"];
[def setObject:#"test2" forKey:#"test2"];
NSLog(#"%#",[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]dictionaryRepresentation]);
EDIT:-
When use dictionaryRepresentation it will print the complete information of user default, including extra value which is added in the defaults.
Below is the output of above code. Also you can see the value in the last which is extra included in the user defaults :-
