  1. POUnexpected difference between NSUserDefaults and Settings.bundle (iOS 4.3)
    text
    copied!<p>One of the first things my app does when starting is registering default values for its settings:</p> <pre><code>// Load default defaults NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; [defaults registerDefaults:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Defaults" ofType:@"plist"]]]; [defaults synchronize]; </code></pre> <p>Defaults.plist looks like this: </p> <pre><code>&lt;key&gt;WorkingHoursFriday&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;28800&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;key&gt;WorkingHoursMonday&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;28800&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;key&gt;WorkingHoursSaturday&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;0&lt;/integer&gt; </code></pre> <p>The correct values show up later when <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/809607/nsuserdefaults-dumping-the-structure-of-nsuserdefaultss-standarduserdefaults/809617#809617">dumping the defaults dictionary</a>: </p> <pre><code>WorkingHoursFriday = 28800; WorkingHoursMonday = 28800; WorkingHoursSaturday = 0; </code></pre> <p>The correct values are also returned when retrieving them specifically with <code>[defaults floatForKey:@"WorkingHoursSaturday"];</code> and so on.</p> <p>However, the Settings app displays the wrong times for these settings. Here's part of my Root.plist in Settings.bundle:</p> <pre><code> &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Type&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;PSMultiValueSpecifier&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Title&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Monday&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Key&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;WorkingHoursMonday&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;DefaultValue&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;28800&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;key&gt;Titles&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;Free&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;8 Hours&lt;/string&gt; ... &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;Values&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;integer&gt;0&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;integer&gt;28800&lt;/integer&gt; ... &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Type&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;PSMultiValueSpecifier&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Title&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Friday&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Key&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;WorkingHoursFriday&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;DefaultValue&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;28800&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;key&gt;Titles&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;integer&gt;Free&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;integer&gt;8 Hours&lt;/integer&gt; ... &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;Type&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;PSMultiValueSpecifier&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Title&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Saturday&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;Key&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;WorkingHoursSaturday&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;DefaultValue&lt;/key&gt; &lt;integer&gt;28800&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;key&gt;Titles&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;Free&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;8 Hours&lt;/string&gt; ... &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;Values&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;integer&gt;0&lt;/integer&gt; &lt;integer&gt;28800&lt;/integer&gt; ... &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here's a screenshot of the settings app. WorkingHoursSaturday is set to 0, but the settings table still shows 8 hours:</p> <p><a href="https://imgur.com/4zV1E" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/4zV1E.png" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com" /></a></p> <p>What am I missing?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: Once I set WorkingHoursSaturday in Code, by calling <code>[defaults setInteger:0 forKey:@"WorkingHoursSaturday"];</code>, Settings.app shows the correct value. Maybe the call to <code>registerDefaults</code> is somehow incorrect?</p>
