[ios] NSUserDefaults - How to tell if a key exists

I just went through this, and all of your answers helped me toward a good solution, for me. I resisted going the route suggested by, just because I found it hard to read and comprehend.

Here's what I did. I had a BOOL being carried around in a variable called "_talkative".

When I set my default (NSUserDefaults) object, I set it as an object, as I could then test to see if it was nil:

//converting BOOL to an object so we can check on nil
[defaults setObject:@(_talkative) forKey:@"talkative"];

Then when I went to see if it existed, I used:

if ([defaults objectForKey:@"talkative"]!=nil )
  {

Then I used the object as a BOOL:

if ([defaults boolForKey:@"talkative"]) {
 ...

This seems to work in my case. It just made more visual sense to me.
