I use “plist” files to store my settings. The only answer I found is to save the files from this directory:

NSString *rootPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];

But I don’t know how to do that thing.

    Read the docs: NSUserDefaults

    The NSUserDefaults class provides a programmatic interface for
    interacting with the defaults system. The defaults system allows an
    application to customize its behavior to match a user’s preferences.
    For example, you can allow users to determine what units of
    measurement your application displays or how often documents are
    automatically saved. Applications record such preferences by assigning
    values to a set of parameters in a user’s defaults database. The
    parameters are referred to as defaults since they’re commonly used to
    determine an application’s default state at startup or the way it acts
    by default.

    So you can save and read your settings in and from NSUserDefaults.

    //write to standard defaults
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:yourObject forKey:@"kYourKey"];
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
    
    //read from standard defaults
    yourObject = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:@"kYourKey"];
    

    Next time try to be more specific of what you want to do.
