Swift 4

func decodeHTML(string: String) -> String? {

    var decodedString: String?

    if let encodedData = string.data(using: .utf8) {
        let attributedOptions: [NSAttributedString.DocumentReadingOptionKey : Any] = [
            .documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html,
            .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue
        ]

        do {
            decodedString = try NSAttributedString(data: encodedData, options: attributedOptions, documentAttributes: nil).string
        } catch {
            print("\(error.localizedDescription)")
        }
    }

    return decodedString
}
