Attempt to set a non-property-list object as an NSUserDefaults

Question

I thought I knew what was causing this error, but I can\'t seem to figure out what I did wrong.

Here is the full error message I am getting:

First off, rmaddy's answer (above) is right: implementing NSCoding doesn't help. However, you need to implement NSCoding to use NSKeyedArchiver and all that, so it's just one more step... converting via NSData.

Example methods

- (NSUserDefaults *) defaults {
    return [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
}

- (void) persistObj:(id)value forKey:(NSString *)key {
    [self.defaults setObject:value  forKey:key];
    [self.defaults synchronize];
}

- (void) persistObjAsData:(id)encodableObject forKey:(NSString *)key {
    NSData *data = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:encodableObject];
    [self persistObj:data forKey:key];
}    

- (id) objectFromDataWithKey:(NSString*)key {
    NSData *data = [self.defaults objectForKey:key];
    return [NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:data];
}

So you can wrap your NSCoding objects in an NSArray or NSDictionary or whatever...
