for here:

debugging iOS 14.3 iPhone8 for WhatsApp, the NSUserDefaults location for suiteName=group.net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.shared is:

  • /private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/D70C70AC-D347-4640-9667-1AA86D05CB65/Library/Preferences/group.net.whatsapp.WhatsApp.shared.plist
    • whatsapp NSUserDefaults

When using the Simulator, you can use this swift snippet to print the location :

dump(NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0])

You can do this

Search for documents directory path 

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0]; // Get documents folder
NSLog(@"documentsDirectory=%@",documentsDirectory);

That will come as 

   /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/270568AE-FB4B-4C57-8819-4D99324D0689/data/Containers/Data/Application/C614A497-971F-4686-9162-3A614AB2C702/Documents

now go upto 

 /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/270568AE-FB4B-4C57-8819-4D99324D0689/data/Containers/Data/Application/C614A497-971F-4686-9162-3A614AB2C702

Then

/Library/Preferences/....plist

.plist file stores NSUserdefaults content under Root .

The physical path is rootOfApplication/Library/Preferences/com.yourcompany.appName.plist you can see there if you test it in simulator

and the workflow is

1.Connect Your device to Xcode

2.select Windows->Organiser

3.select you device

4.tap on your application

5.select applicationData tapping down list

6.tap down arrow and download that folder

7.open downloaded folder Library -> Preferences -> appbundlename.plist
