These are all the application that we run via Xcode for that particular IOS version. Once we go to that directory, we can see a bunch of applications. In my case, the location is “Users/prateekgianchandani/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.1/Applications” Since we are running the application on our system, we can find our applications on the path /Users/$username/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/$ios version of simulator/Applications/. First of all, we must find the application bundle for our application. It is stored in a plist file with the name as the bundle Id of the application.
What most people do not realize is that the data saved by NSUserDefaults is not encrypted and can be easily viewed from the application bundle. This will save the data to NSUserDefaults. Now enter some info in the text field related to NSUserDefaults and tap the button that says Save in NSUserDefaults. Some applications also use this feature to save confidential information like the user’s access token so that the next time the application launches, they can just use that access token to authenticate the user again.ĭownload the sample application from my github page and run it. We can save the logged in state of the user (YES or NO) in NSUserDefaults so that when the user closes the application and starts it again, the application can fetch data from NSUserDefaults and display different UI to the user depending on whether he is logged in or not. One of the examples of saving information in NSUserDefaults is the logged in state of the user. The information stored in NSUserDefaults persists even if you close the application and start it again. One of the most common ways of saving user preferences and properties in an application is by using NSUserDefaults. Optionally, you can simply run the application on your device using the steps mentioned here.
This is just to demonstrate that you can perform all the steps performed before in previous articles on your system as well by running the application via Xcode.

One of the other things that we will doing different in this example is that we will be running the application on the IOS simulator using Xcode rather than on the device and hence will be analyzing the application on our computer rather than on the device.
