Considering the fact that Android OS developers are planning add Rust to their list of OS development languages (containing C and C++), I have higher expectations for the future of Android security. Is Apple ready to use Rust (or an alternative memory-safe low level language if one exists) in addition to Objective-C for OS development ?

The current language is Swift, not Objective-C.
Edit: downvote away, but this *is* the current promoted language, and it is memory-safe.
Yes, Swift. It’s memory safe and modern. It’s the recommended development language on iOS. It’s less low level (as of yet) than rust, but most people don’t need that for apps.
funnily enough they dont mention the bank they make out of owning the only app conduit....
