Вы можете сделать настройки в настройках.пакет по умолчанию, даже если вы не открываете приложение Настройки

вот мой код, основанный на @PCheese ответ, который добавляет поддержку для ключей без значений по умолчанию " и " детьми.

- (void)registerDefaultsFromSettingsBundle {
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] registerDefaults:[self defaultsFromPlistNamed:@"Root"]];
}

- (NSDictionary *)defaultsFromPlistNamed:(NSString *)plistName {
    NSString *settingsBundle = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Settings" ofType:@"bundle"];
    NSAssert(settingsBundle, @"Could not find Settings.bundle while loading defaults.");

    NSString *plistFullName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.plist", plistName];

    NSDictionary *settings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[settingsBundle stringByAppendingPathComponent:plistFullName]];
    NSAssert1(settings, @"Could not load plist '%@' while loading defaults.", plistFullName);

    NSArray *preferences = [settings objectForKey:@"PreferenceSpecifiers"];
    NSAssert1(preferences, @"Could not find preferences entry in plist '%@' while loading defaults.", plistFullName);

    NSMutableDictionary *defaults = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
    for(NSDictionary *prefSpecification in preferences) {
        NSString *key = [prefSpecification objectForKey:@"Key"];
        id value = [prefSpecification objectForKey:@"DefaultValue"];
        if(key && value) {
            [defaults setObject:value forKey:key];
        } 

        NSString *type = [prefSpecification objectForKey:@"Type"];
        if ([type isEqualToString:@"PSChildPaneSpecifier"]) {
            NSString *file = [prefSpecification objectForKey:@"File"];
            NSAssert1(file, @"Unable to get child plist name from plist '%@'", plistFullName);
            [defaults addEntriesFromDictionary:[self defaultsFromPlistNamed:file]];
        }        
    }

    return defaults;
}

вот версия Swift: звоните из:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    self.registerDefaultsFromSettingsBundle()

    return true
}

преобразованной функции:

func registerDefaultsFromSettingsBundle(){
    //NSLog("Registering default values from Settings.bundle");
    let defs: NSUserDefaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
    defs.synchronize()

    var settingsBundle: NSString = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Settings", ofType: "bundle")!    
    if(settingsBundle.containsString("")){
        NSLog("Could not find Settings.bundle");
        return;
    }
    var settings: NSDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: settingsBundle.stringByAppendingPathComponent("Root.plist"))!
    var preferences: NSArray = settings.objectForKey("PreferenceSpecifiers") as NSArray
    var defaultsToRegister: NSMutableDictionary = NSMutableDictionary(capacity: preferences.count)

    for prefSpecification in preferences {
        if (prefSpecification.objectForKey("Key") != nil) {
            let key: NSString = prefSpecification.objectForKey("Key")! as NSString
            if !key.containsString("") {
                let currentObject: AnyObject? = defs.objectForKey(key)
                if currentObject == nil {
                    // not readable: set value from Settings.bundle
                    let objectToSet: AnyObject? = prefSpecification.objectForKey("DefaultValue")
                    defaultsToRegister.setObject(objectToSet!, forKey: key)
                    NSLog("Setting object \(objectToSet) for key \(key)")
                }else{
                    //already readable: don't touch
                    //NSLog("Key \(key) is readable (value: \(currentObject)), nothing written to defaults.");
                }
            }
        }
    }
    defs.registerDefaults(defaultsToRegister)
    defs.synchronize()
}

Swift 3 version

    func registerDefaultsFromSettingsBundle(){
    guard let settingsBundle = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "Settings", ofType: "bundle") else {
        print("Could not locate Settings.bundle")
        return
    }

    guard let settings = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: settingsBundle+"/Root.plist") else {
        print("Could not read Root.plist")
        return
    }

    let preferences = settings["PreferenceSpecifiers"] as! NSArray
    var defaultsToRegister = [String: AnyObject]()
    for prefSpecification in preferences {
        if let post = prefSpecification as? [String: AnyObject] {
            guard let key = post["Key"] as? String,
                let defaultValue = post["DefaultValue"] else {
                    continue
            }
            defaultsToRegister[key] = defaultValue
        }
    }
    UserDefaults.standard.register(defaults: defaultsToRegister)
}

A Swift 2 совместимая версия

    let defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
    defaults.synchronize()

    let settingsBundle: NSString = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Settings", ofType: "bundle")!
    if(settingsBundle.containsString("")){
        NSLog("Could not find Settings.bundle");
        return;
    }
    let settings = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: settingsBundle.stringByAppendingPathComponent("Root.plist"))!
    let preferences = settings.objectForKey("PreferenceSpecifiers") as! NSArray;
    var defaultsToRegister = [String: AnyObject](minimumCapacity: preferences.count);

    for prefSpecification in preferences {
        if (prefSpecification.objectForKey("Key") != nil) {
            let key = prefSpecification.objectForKey("Key")! as! String
            if !key.containsString("") {
                let currentObject = defaults.objectForKey(key)
                if currentObject == nil {
                    // not readable: set value from Settings.bundle
                    let objectToSet = prefSpecification.objectForKey("DefaultValue")
                    defaultsToRegister[key] = objectToSet!
                    NSLog("Setting object \(objectToSet) for key \(key)")
                }
            }
        }
    }
    defaults.registerDefaults(defaultsToRegister)
    defaults.synchronize()
}

еще одна версия той же темы. Я сохранил поддержку Лоуренса Джонстона для детских панелей и добавил поддержку i18n/l10n.

вызов [self registerDefaultsFromSettingsBundle]; С - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

if(x) {NSAssert(x);return nil;} выглядит глупо, но мне лень что-то с этим делать.

другой подход: генерация кода

далее создается файл Objective-C с одной функцией, которая регистрирует значения по умолчанию для Root.файл plist.

xsltproc settings.xslt Settings.bundle/Root.plist > registerDefaults.m

In можно запустить автоматически, используя этап сборки "Run Script" в XCode. Этап должен быть помещен перед "компиляцией источников". (xsltproc поставляется с OS X.)

это несколько простой и не обрабатывает вложенные файлы, но, возможно, кто-то имеет использование для оно.

настройки.xslt

Он основан на работе Бенджамин Рагебе.

гораздо более чистая версия swift 2.2, требует быстрого расширения на строку для восстановления stringByAppendingPathComponent:

extension String {
    func stringByAppendingPathComponent(path: String) -> String {
        let nsSt = self as NSString
        return nsSt.stringByAppendingPathComponent(path)
    }
}

func registerDefaultsFromSettingsBundle() {
    guard let settingsBundle = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Settings", ofType: "bundle") else {
        log.debug("Could not find Settings.bundle")
        return
    }

    let settings = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: settingsBundle.stringByAppendingPathComponent("Root.plist"))!

    let preferences = settings["PreferenceSpecifiers"] as! NSArray

    var defaultsToRegister = [String: AnyObject]()

    for prefSpecification in preferences {
        guard let key = prefSpecification["Key"] as? String,
        let defaultValue = prefSpecification["DefaultValue"] else {
            continue
        }

        defaultsToRegister[key] = defaultValue
    }
    NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().registerDefaults(defaultsToRegister)
}
