In general, there is no way to do this. Consider an application you've written - you can call [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] objectForKey:] and supply any key you like; there's no means to force you to document the keys you use, or the range of acceptable values.

A common method to find "hidden" settings in an app is to run strings(1) on an app binary and looking for things that resemble defaults keys, but that is by no means exhaustive or foolproof.
