I just THINK... having a proper preferences story in the project that's supported and polished instead of just "Store some crap as strings in a generic ApplicationSettings object" (not that you still can't) is just NICER to be a core feature.

I feel like authoring the definition in TypeScript would be a nice approach, fully typed, and could directly serve as the runtime types too. Something like

// src/app.preferences.ts (or wherever)

import { definePreferences } from "@nativescript/preferences";

export default definePreferences({
 /* ... */
});

The definePreferences ensures correct schema, and provides intellisense to editors.

Usage becomes:

import settings from './app.preferences';

settings.get('theme');            // 'system' | 'light' | 'dark', never undefined
settings.set('volume', 80);       // NSUserDefaults / SharedPreferences
settings.set('enabled', 'yes');   // compile error
settings.onChange('theme', applyTheme);
await settings.openSettings();

I feel like authoring the definition in TypeScript would be a nice approach, fully typed, and could directly serve as the runtime types too.

I JUST upgraded it from the dated plugin years ago, easy swap, it's checked in per your notes, runs fine on both sims
