You can use property lists (NSPropertyListSerialization or writeToFile: way). But be sure your array contains valid property list objects only (NSString, NSNumber, NSData, NSArray, or NSDictionary objects) and NSDictionary has only NSString keys. Custom (complex) objects have to be represented as dictionaries.

Or you should use approach with archives http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Archiving/Archiving.html through NSCoding protocol. Nice guide is here http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000084.php
