updated IOS app with changes in NSUser default keys ( added few more keys and changed some existing key names) app is crashing at initialization time after updating from store . If I delete the app completely and reinstall it then it is working fine . We can not clear previous NSUser defaults and recreate it when updating app ( I mean complete re-installation by writing some logic in updated app)?.

You can clear NSUserDefault with below code.

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] removeObjectForKey:@"yourkey"];

try to synchronize the user defaults 

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] removeObjectForKey:@"YourKey"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];yourkey

I'd recommend to write a migrator routine which checks for certain former keys when the application launches and updates the defaults database respectively.

you can usuually clean out the entire NSUserDefaults by doing this, just in case you forgot the key or something:

   [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setPersistentDomain:[NSDictionary dictionary]  forName:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]];

You can check if app is opening for first time then clear NSUserDefault as below

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setPersistentDomain:[NSDictionary dictionary]  forName:[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]];

After that set your NSUserDefault again as per your requirement.
