Is there any way to enforce that in a way that can't be worked around with a shim? Demanding source code? Looking for signs of other languages in the binary and not allowing them in the appstore if detected?

You can’t definitively prove something was written in Objective-C or Swift, but you can often definitively prove something was not written in either pretty easily just by looking at the assembly.

I suppose the difficulty of proving that, short of demanding source code, helped prevent it from happening.
