const success: Bool = await WidgetBridge.ensureUserDefaultsSuit("group.my.exampe.com");

// If suite has been ready, write to UserDefaults suite
const success: Bool = await WidgetBridge.setDict("MyDictA", {a: 1, b:2, foo: "bar"});
const dict: object = await WidgetBridge.getDict("MyDictA");
const success: Bool = await WidgetBridge.removeObject("MyDictA");

const success: Bool = await WidgetBridge.setString("MyStringB", "This is a test string");
