NSUserDefaults setObject方法导致应用程序在ios8中崩溃

Question

I am having an app in which I am passing some data between viewControllers with NSUserDefaults.

This is the code below I am using.

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]setObject:selectedLists forKey:UserID];

Where selectedLists is NSMutableArray and UserID is NSString .

This code works fine until ios7 and xCode5.

Since I have updated xCode6 and now I am using ios8, my app works fine with xCode 6 and ios 7.1 but the app crashes when I run the app in ios8 devices with the error below.

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFNumber length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7a027060'

I just don't understand what is the problem here.

If anyone has faced this problem with ios8 then please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Value of selectedLists

    {
        CardFace = Word;
        ImportFlag = Import;
        ListID = 1;
        ListName = "Adjectives - Appearance";
        QuizBy = Definition;
        UserID = 1;
    }

and UserId is 1.

Edited On my tableview's didselect method...

UserID = [[users objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"UserID"];

where users is an array.

Answer 1

You should check the UserID type because crash is not related with changing NSArray to NSMutableArray .

You must be confusing NSNumber with NSString on your userID:

Change your code and instead of userID use the variable userIDString

NSString userIDString;

//If UserID is class of NSNumber turn its value to NSString
if ([UserID isKindOfClass:[NSNumber class]]) 
{ 
    userIDString = [UserID stringValue]; 
} 
else 
    userIDString = UserID ;

Answer 2

During runtime UserId is probably of type NSNumber , even if in your code it is typed NSString .

Check how UserId is created. Use the debugger to check the runtime type.

The newly posted code shows that your retrieve the UserId from the users array which probably consists of dictionaries. In those dictionaries there's a value for the key UserID . It depends on how the array of dictionaries is created (json deserialization?) but it seems that the type of object referred to by the UserID key is a number type, not a string. So all you have to do is convert this number into a string:

UserID = [[[users objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] valueForKey:@"UserID"] stringValue];

Now your key is always a string.

Answer 3

I think can't store NSMutableArrays in NSUserDefaults since iOS8 (according to different posts). Try casting it into an array before (or create a new one).

Like this for example :

NSArray *arr = [NSArray arrayWithArray:selectedLists];

And store arr in NSUserDefaults .

Answer 4

Try to encode your data in NSData and save it in NSUserDefaults and retrieved back, once needed. Have a look at this thread and this one.

Answer 5

Should not use NSUSerdefault to keep a collection of custom objects. You should save them using NSkeyedUnarchiver/NSkeyedarchiver. Ref: NSCoding.
