Although there is no native UID type in Apple's XML format, Apple's NSKeyedArchiver still works with it because it converts the UID to a dict of {"CF$UID": int(some_uint64_val)}. Plistlib should do the same.

For a sample, see https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/2a5bc4d8a0b073532e60410682f5eb8f00144870/Tests/Foundation/Resources/NSKeyedUnarchiver-ArrayTest.plist.
