I am new to iPhone development and objective C. I have used NSUserDefaults to store some values in my app. But I don't know that if there is any limit for storing values in NSUserDefaults. Can anyone help me to know that.

Thanks in advance.

As long as there's enough space on the iPhone/iPad, you can store NSUserDefault values. All those values is stored into a .plist file, and this file is very small, most of the time under 1 kb (unless you store a lot of data).
