Likely none. I probably misdiagnosed the issue initially.
When I say write the user preferences what I mean is that the preferences I initially establish for my app do not get ultimately persisted by the defaults system.

No. I use the standard approach.

Yes. I am aware of all that.
Regardless of when the prefs get persisted the user defaults available to the app are not what I anticipate.
As I said the issue only appears for a signed archive build for non admin users.
For admin users and debug builds for non admin users everything is fine.
