[NSDictionaryI setObject:forKey:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance

I get JSON data and store it in `NSUserDefaults' which then I am trying to retrieve to add or remove objects from the dictionary, however I get the error

unrecognized selector sent to instance

when adding to the NSMutableDictionary

 // new dict
    NSMutableDictionary *userTranslations = [NSMutableDictionary new];

    for (NSString *key in keys) {
        [userTranslations setObject:dicky[key] forKey:key];
    };

 // then add that dictionary as the key for uid
    [artworkTranslations setObject:userTranslations forKey:uid];

JSON Data

{
  people =     {
    "title" = "Hello";
    "details" = "Amet justo donec enim diam vulputate.<br><br>Ut etiam sit amet nisl. Mattis vulputate enim nulla aliquet porttitor.<br><br>Euismod quis viverra nibh cras pulvinar mattis nunc sed blandit. Dis parturient montes nascetur ridiculus mus.";
  };
}

NSUserDefaults

Objects: {
  9ddfdd2d652c742 = {
      first =     {
        "title" = "Hello";
        "details" = "Amet justo donec enim diam vulputate.<br><br>Ut etiam sit amet nisl. Mattis vulputate enim nulla aliquet porttitor.<br><br>Euismod quis viverra nibh cras pulvinar mattis nunc sed blandit. Dis parturient montes nascetur ridiculus mus.";
      };
  };
}

NSDictionary * jsonData = [data objectForKey:@"people"];

if (jsonData) {
    NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    NSMutableDictionary *objects = [defaults objectForKey:@"Objects"];
    NSArray *keys = [jsonData allKeys];

    if (objects) {

Your problem is on the line:

NSMutableDictionary *objects = [defaults objectForKey:@"Objects"];

You can't get a mutable collection from user defaults. You need to make it mutable:

NSMutableDictionary *objects = [[defaults objectForKey:@"Objects"] mutableCopy];

Also keep in mind that objects will be null the first time your app runs. So account for that too.
