Issues with adding new array in update

The update for my app is now ready, however I have noticed that updating directly from the version of my app that is on the app store, to the new version that I am working on in Xcode seems to crash my app.

Basically, I added a new array that stores data for notes which was not present in previous versions and this is stored in NSUserDefaults (Not ideal, I know, but I would rather keep it this way for now)

When I go into the table view tab of my app, it crashes at this line:

cell.notesLabel.text = (notes.objectAtIndex(indexPath.row)) as? String

The error just states - "Thread 1: breakpoint 1.1" as soon as the table view tab is tapped.

I was discussing this with someone else and they suggested that I need to check for the existence of the array in the defaults and create and synchronise it if it is missing.

I'm not entirely sure how I would go about this, but I have tried changing my code from this:

if var tempNotes: NSArray = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().arrayForKey("notes") {
    notes = tempNotes.mutableCopy() as NSMutableArray
}

To this:

if NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().arrayForKey("notes") != nil {
    var tempNotes: NSArray = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().arrayForKey("notes")!
    notes = tempNotes.mutableCopy() as NSMutableArray
}

However it doesn't seem to have made a difference. That code is in viewWillAppear() by the way.

Any ideas?
