Hi,

I want to store / save personal preference settings like Email, Phone number for an App. I have few forms which send info by Email to my ID. I want to know the Email & Phone number of user so I can contact this person if need be. I don't want users to keep entering their Email ID & Phone No. everytime in each form. It's wise to take these inputs (Email & Phone) just once per device / per App installed on the device.

I am trying to use .plist for this purpose. I have no success. How do I do it? Any example code (or) links?

Thanks. I would appreciate any help.
