Swift 4  I have used Enum for handling UserDefaults   This is just a sample code  You can customize it as per your requirements   For Storing  Retrieving  Removing  In this way just add a key for your UserDefaults key to the enum  Handle values while getting and storing according to dataType and your requirements   enum UserDefaultsConstant   String       case AuthToken  FcmToken      static let defaults   UserDefaults standard        Store     func setValue value   Any            switch self           case  AuthToken  FcmToken              if let     value as  String                   UserDefaults standard set value  forKey  self rawValue                            break                    UserDefaults standard synchronize               Retrieve     func getValue   - gt  Any            switch self           case  AuthToken              if UserDefaults standard value forKey  UserDefaultsConstant AuthToken rawValue     nil                     return  Bearer    UserDefaults standard value forKey  UserDefaultsConstant AuthToken rawValue  as  String                            else                   return                           case  FcmToken               if UserDefaults standard value forKey  UserDefaultsConstant FcmToken rawValue     nil                    print UserDefaults standard value forKey  UserDefaultsConstant FcmToken rawValue                   return  UserDefaults standard value forKey  UserDefaultsConstant FcmToken rawValue  as  String                            else                   return                                         Remove     func removeValue             UserDefaults standard removeObject forKey  self rawValue          UserDefaults standard synchronize             For storing a value in userdefaults   if let authToken   resp data  token        UserDefaultsConstant AuthToken setValue value  authToken          For retrieving a value from userdefaults     As AuthToken value is a string      UserDefaultsConstant AuthToken getValue   as  String

ref  NSUserdefault objectTypes  Swift 3 and above  Store  UserDefaults standard set true  forKey   Key     Bool UserDefaults standard set 1  forKey   Key      Integer UserDefaults standard set  TEST   forKey   Key     setObject   Retrieve   UserDefaults standard bool forKey   Key    UserDefaults standard integer forKey   Key    UserDefaults standard string forKey   Key     Remove   UserDefaults standard removeObject forKey   Key     Remove all Keys   if let appDomain   Bundle main bundleIdentifier   UserDefaults standard removePersistentDomain forName  appDomain       Swift 2 and below  Store  NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults   setObject newValue  forKey   yourkey   NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults   synchronize     Retrieve    var returnValue   NSString     NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults   objectForKey  yourkey   as   NSString    Remove   NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults   removeObjectForKey  yourkey      Register     registerDefaults  adds the registrationDictionary to the last item in every search list  This means that after NSUserDefaults has looked for a value in every other valid location  it will look in registered defaults  making them useful as a  fallback  value  Registered defaults are never stored between runs of an application  and are visible only to the application that registers them       Default values from Defaults Configuration Files will automatically be registered    for example detect the app from launch   create the struct for save launch  struct DetectLaunch   static let keyforLaunch    validateFirstlunch  static var isFirst  Bool       get           return UserDefaults standard bool forKey  keyforLaunch            set           UserDefaults standard set newValue  forKey  keyforLaunch              Register default values on app launch   UserDefaults standard register defaults            DetectLaunch isFirst  true          remove the value on app termination   func applicationWillTerminate   application  UIApplication        DetectLaunch isFirst   false      and check the condition as  if DetectLaunch isFirst        app launched from first       UserDefaults suite name  another one property suite name  mostly its used for  App Groups concept  the example scenario I taken from here       The use case is that I want to separate my UserDefaults  different business logic may require Userdefaults to be grouped separately  by an identifier just like Android s SharedPreferences  For example  when a user in my app clicks on logout button  I would want to clear his account related defaults but not location of the the device    let user   UserDefaults suiteName  User       use of userDefaults synchronize  the detail info has added in the duplicate answer

Best way to use UserDefaults   Steps   Create extension of UserDefaults  Create enum with required Keys to store in local   Store and retrieve the local data wherever you want   Sample   extension UserDefaults         MARK  Check Login     func setLoggedIn value  Bool            set value  forKey  UserDefaultsKeys isLoggedIn rawValue            synchronize              func isLoggedIn  - gt  Bool           return bool forKey  UserDefaultsKeys isLoggedIn rawValue               MARK  Save User Data     func setUserID value  Int           set value  forKey  UserDefaultsKeys userID rawValue            synchronize                MARK  Retrieve User Data     func getUserID   - gt  Int          return integer forKey  UserDefaultsKeys userID rawValue            enum for Keys used to store data  enum UserDefaultsKeys   String       case isLoggedIn     case userID     Save in UserDefaults where you want   UserDefaults standard setLoggedIn value  true              String UserDefaults standard setUserID value  result User id      String   Retrieve data anywhere in app  print  ID     UserDefaults standard getUserID      UserDefaults standard getUserID     Remove Values  UserDefaults standard removeObject forKey  UserDefaultsKeys userID     This way you can store primitive data in best  Update You need no use synchronize   to store the values  As  Moritz pointed out the it unnecessary and given the article about it Check comments for more detail
