When using tool which uses XcodeProj internally on a swift 6 linux runner, getting errors decoding - saying this platform does not support openstep format.

This seems to be because linux version of swift 6 does not support OpenStep format used by .pbxproj files

Research direction

Start by reproducing the decoding failure on a Swift 6 Linux runner with a .pbxproj file, then trace the XcodeProj decoding path involved in the OpenStep format error. Done means the relevant project files decode successfully on Linux without the unsupported-format error, with coverage for the reported case.
