Possible to export userdefaults plist as email attachment in Swift?

In Xcode userdefaults are saved in a plist. I'd like to export this file directly. Is it possible?



There are a couple of answers on finding it in the simulator, but I'm interested in finding it on the device while using the app and attaching it to email.



Possible?



EDIT: This question is not a duplicate. Those answers tell you how to find the plist on the MAC when running the app in the simulator. As I stated originally, I'm looking for a way to attach the file while running the app on the device.



I haven't been able to find any ways to do that directly. So far looks like I'll just have to parse it and export it via another format.

    You can also do let dicitionary = UserDefaults.standard.dictionaryRepresentation(), filter some key/values if needed, transform it into a file of your representation choice (like a JSON file, a Plist file, an XML one, etc) and then send it.
