Way back in like 2010 there was a clause added briefly to the iOS developer guidelines saying things had to be in Objective-C. There was an outcry and it disappeared not long afterward. Unfortunately, the idea that other languages can't be used persists. Shows how much damage a dumb political mistake can have, even if it's quickly walked back.

How are they doing this? Is there some "transform" into C to use a subset of "objective c" going on?

They are using this package https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/mobile/cmd/gobind to generate the libraries and bindings for objective c and java.

It works if you build from tip. Definitely not polished though.
