The expectation is that NSUserDefaults does not roam. "Roaming" settings are usually handled through NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore, which we don't support right now.

A trade off would be to:

  1. NSUserDefaults to always go to local data.
  2. For roaming the settings, use CFPreferences directly and specify kCFPreferencesAnyHost for hostName.
    All other host names will be local only.

Save NSUserDefaults to local app data, not roaming app data.

App preferences writes with kCFPreferencesAnyHost, which means we cannot
use the host parameter to differentiate roaming vs local.

The correct way to roam would be through ubiquitous store (which would
have to be covered separately based on need).
