   Yes, that is the one. When I try to pass a dictionary into capture(event:properties:) it fails with that error.

   Here is a trivial example to help highlight it

   struct MyType: Codable {}
   
   posthog?.capture("My Event", properties: ["somekey": MyType()])

   This yields the error. Technically PostHog SDK only needs to support Encodable; it doesn't need to be Decodable

   Note: the error appears at runtime when you try to send the data over the wire; it's not a compile time error.

   We're currently rewriting the iOS SDK and we'll consider this use case, thanks for the context.
   Edit: Consider using the customstringconvertible as well.
