Don't know about iOS, but at least on OS X you can do this, depending on the definition of arbitrary. In other words, you can set up entitlements to specific files in preferences that are not named by your bundle identifier, as would be necessary for shared preferences between a suite of apps. But of course you can't give yourself an entitlement to ~/Library/Preferences and then wander through the whole directory.
