It looks like iOS 8 does not like setting strings in NSUserDefaults. Try encoding the string into NSData before saving.

When saving:

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:testString] forKey:@"Session"];

When reading:

NSData *_data = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"Session"];
NSString *_dataArchive = [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:_data];

Hope this helps.
