setObjectForKey method with custom objects doesn't work NSUserDefaults swift - swift

Question

I use the setObjectForKey method when I try to save a custom object, but when I try to retrieve it for the same key, it returns nil. I have been researching and I know that there is some issue with set custom objects to NSUserDefaults so I tried using NSKeyedArchiver class, but it still returns nil.
