Swift: Create an Array of Double values and save it to NSUserDefaults

Question

In the app I'm developing, I need to create an array that will store values of a variable (money, which is a double and changes when the user inputs a different value). So the idea was to create an array variable from a NSUSerDefaults key:

var moneyArray:Array = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().arrayForKey("MoneyArray")

Then I needed to append the value so:

 moneyArray.append(money)

And now I would save the array again:

NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(moneyArray,forKey:"MoneyArray")

In the middle, I was printing the array to see the values. But I can't execute this code. Whenever I run the app, this happens:

1. On the console I see this: fatal error: Can't unwrap Optional.None (lldb)
2. Highlighted on my code, I see this: Thread 1: EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION...

And I don't know what I'm doing wrong or where should I look for more info about this...

I think the type system gets confused by arrayForKey because really it still returns AnyObject!

I always hav a wrapper property:

var myArray : Array<Double>! {
get {
    if let myArray: AnyObject! = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().objectForKey("myArray") {
        println("\(myArray)")
        return myArray as Array<Double>!
    }

    return nil
}
set {
    println(myArray)
    NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(newValue, forKey: "myArray")
    NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().synchronize()
}
}
