How to save an NSMutableArray containing NSMutableArrays of custom objects in NSUserDefaults

Question

I was able to save an NSMutableArray of custom objects to NSUserDefaults by implementing NSCoding in the custom class. However, now I want to save an NSMutableArray of these arrays. The compiler complains when I try to do this. How can this be done?

Answer 1

I found out how to do it. Basically, your transform the array into a data object using NSKeyedArchiver, and that is what you save with NSUserDefaults. Then when you get the data object back, you use NSKeyedUnarchiver to turn it back into an array.
