NSUerDefault for saving array of image in swift [duplicate]

Question

Hi I'm trying to storing array of images using swift but its not working

i use this for saving

     let defaults = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
    defaults.setObject(photos, forKey: header)
    defaults.synchronize()

and this for loading

if let items = defaults.ArrayForKey(header) {
    self.photos = self.photos + items

 }

You can't store UIImage objects in user defaults, you can however store paths to those images instead. — Vladimir

"You can't store UIImage objects in user defaults" You can but you shouldn't. — matt

If photos is an array of UIImage, this code will do nothing:

 defaults.setObject(photos...)

The reason is that UIImage is not a property list type. defaults is a property list. See Apple's docs:
