Kyle;
Thanks for that pointer! Based on the documentation you cited I've
now got the reading of NSUserDefaults functioning!
In the hopes that it might be useful to someone else, I include these
'Cocoa friendly' methods.
I grant that there are some improvements which could be made, I
include them here in the spirit of helpfulness to the community....
// myBundleID is a static string defined elsewhere
//retrieves the full user defaults dictionary
- (NSDictionary *) prefDictionary {
CFStringRef appBundleID = (CFStringRef)myBundleID;
return (NSDictionary *)CFPreferencesCopyMultiple(NULL, appBundleID,
kCFPreferencesCurrentUser, kCFPreferencesAnyHost);
}
//retrieves the string Value of a key [full implementation of all the
CFPropertyList types is left as an exercise for the reader)
- (NSString *) prefStringValueforKey:(NSString *)preferenceKey {
CFStringRef appBundleID = (CFStringRef)myBundleID;
return (NSString*)CFPreferencesCopyValue((CFStringRef)preferenceKey,
appBundleID, kCFPreferencesCurrentUser, kCFPreferencesAnyHost);
}
//sets the value for a key
- (void) setPrefValue:(id)preferenceValue forKey:(NSString
*)preferenceKey {
CFStringRef appBundleID = (CFStringRef)myBundleID;
CFPreferencesSetValue((CFStringRef)preferenceKey,
(CFPropertyListRef)preferenceValue, appBundleID,
kCFPreferencesCurrentUser, kCFPreferencesAnyHost);
CFPreferencesSynchronize(appBundleID, kCFPreferencesCurrentUser,
kCFPreferencesAnyHost);
}

This not a managed environment nor is this issue related to users
or hosts,
so it doesn't seem that CFPreferences is called for (or even helps!)
In fact, CFPreferences is exactly what you need. Apple has some
sample code describing how to do exactly what you want:
