How to observe changes in UserDefaults?

by

Here is possible solution

import Combine

// define key for observing
extension UserDefaults {
    @objc dynamic var status: String {
        get { string(forKey: "status") ?? "OFFLINE" }
        set { setValue(newValue, forKey: "status") }
    }
}

class Station: ObservableObject {
    @Published var status: String = UserDefaults.standard.status {
        didSet {
            UserDefaults.standard.status = status
        }
    }

    private var cancelable: AnyCancellable?
    init() {
        cancelable = UserDefaults.standard.publisher(for: \.status)
            .sink(receiveValue: { [weak self] newValue in
                guard let self = self else { return }
                if newValue != self.status { // avoid cycling !!
                    self.status = newValue
                }
            })
    }
}

Note: SwiftUI 2.0 allows you to use/observe UserDefaults in view directly via AppStorage, so if you need that status only in view, you can just use

struct SomeView: View {
    @AppStorage("status") var status: String = "OFFLINE"
    ...
