Yes, you can still use Objective-C for development on Apple platforms. However, Apple has been promoting Swift as the preferred language for app development due to its modern features, safety, and performance benefits. Swift is designed to be more approachable for newcomers and powerful for experts, and it is used extensively across Apple's software stack, from apps to system services and frameworks.

For example, in the Platforms State of the Union, it was mentioned that Swift is a revolutionary programming language that is fast, modern, and safe, making it an ideal choice for app development. Additionally, Swift's interoperability with C and Objective-C allows developers to incrementally adopt Swift in their existing projects, improving security and productivity.
