}
// If value is equal to ON
else if ([value compare:@"ON"] == NSOrderedSame) {

    //NSLog(@"the switch is on");

    // Set the switch to ON

In the viewDidLoad of the view controller, put something like this:

NSUserDefaults *userPreferences = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *stateOfButton = [userPreferences stringForKey:@"stateOfButton"];
if ([stateOfButton isEqualToString:@"ON"])
{
    //set button state to "selected"
}
else
{
    //set button state to "not selected"
}
