These days, there are plenty of other frameworks for writing native iOS apps in languages other than Obj-C/Swift (Xamarin/Mono, RubyMotion, etc).
This wasn't always the case, but IIRC the current review rules only forbid having a runtime scripting language that isn't JS (since Apple can happily sandbox JS), but anecdotally even that isn't a problem these days (e.g. plenty of games use Lua for in-game scripting).
