I've come across this issue here trying to find a way to make `PropertyListDecoder` available on Linux.

It turns out that given your pointer above this was quite easy. I took the file you linked to and added

```

import Foundation

extension DecodingError {

internal static func \_typeMismatch(at path: \[CodingKey\], expectation: Any.Type, reality: Any) -\> DecodingError {

    let description = "Expected to decode (expectation) but found (type(of: reality)) instead."

    return .typeMismatch(expectation, Context(codingPath: path, debugDescription: description))

}

}

let kCFBooleanTrue = NSNumber(booleanLiteral: true)

let kCFBooleanFalse = NSNumber(booleanLiteral: false)

```

to fix a couple of missing declarations. This builds and runs fine on Linux with swift-4.2 (and probably earlier, I didn't test).

So I suppose that proves that this should be straightforward to add 🙂

I'd be happy to put in some time to open an MR for this but not having build swift or the stdlib I'm not really sure where to start.

@millenomi it looks like the implementation for this is already in the overlay, could we copy it into s-c-f?

Is there an update on this?

hi, any update please? 🙁

PropertyListEncoder/Decoder were added in #1849
