I thought I knew what was causing this error, but I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong.
Here is the full error message I am getting:
<pre>
Attempt to set a non-property-list object (
"&lt;BC_Person: 0x8f3c140&gt;"
) as an NSUserDefaults value for key personDataArray
</pre>
I have a `Person` class that I think is conforming to the `NSCoding` protocol, where I have both of these methods in my person class:
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {
[coder encodeObject:self.personsName forKey:@"BCPersonsName"];
[coder encodeObject:self.personsBills forKey:@"BCPersonsBillsArray"];
}
- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
self.personsName = [coder decodeObjectForKey:@"BCPersonsName"];
self.personsBills = [coder decodeObjectForKey:@"BCPersonsBillsArray"];
}
return self;
}
At some point in the app, the `NSString` in the `BC_PersonClass` is set, and I have a `DataSave` class that I think is handling the encoding the properties in my `BC_PersonClass`.
Here is the code I am using from the `DataSave` class:
- (void)savePersonArrayData:(BC_Person *)personObject
{
// NSLog(@"name of the person %@", personObject.personsName);
[mutableDataArray addObject:personObject];
// set the temp array to the mutableData array
tempMuteArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:mutableDataArray];
// save the person object as nsData
NSData *personEncodedObject = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:personObject];
// first add the person object to the mutable array
[tempMuteArray addObject:personEncodedObject];
// NSLog(@"Objects in the array %lu", (unsigned long)mutableDataArray.count);
// now we set that data array to the mutable array for saving
dataArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:mutableDataArray];
//dataArray = [NSArray arrayWithArray:mutableDataArray];
// save the object to NS User Defaults
NSUserDefaults *userData = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[userData setObject:dataArray forKey:@"personDataArray"];
[userData synchronize];
}
I hope this is enough code to give you an idea o what I am trying to do.
Again I know my problem lie with how I am encoding my properties in my BC_Person class, I just can't seem to figure out what though I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for the help!
