Swift 3 syntax example
Register a boolean default value:
UserDefaults.standard.register(defaults: ["SoundActive" : true])
And to get the value:
UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "SoundActive")
Sidenote: Although the above code will return true, note that the value isn’t actually written to disk until you set it:
UserDefaults.standard.set(true, forKey: "SoundActive")
