According to this: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/documentation/General/Conceptual/AppleTV_PG/

There is no persistent local storage for apps on the Apple TV.

This seems somewhat odd. What if I have an app with different settings customized to the user? Do they lose all those settings? Or is there a special case for something like NSUserDefaults?

To Clarify: If I'm using NSUserDefaults to store a boolean value for an IAP, will that value be persistant as long as it is under 500kb? For now this seems to work in my app but I'm uncertain if the 500kb you mentioned will at some point be purged.

Thanks

The behaviour is the same as on iOS: NSUserDefaults is persistent as long as the user does not delete the app from the device.
