Apple coding interview language

i am going Apple onsite interview soon For the technical interview, is there any programming language restriction? If it is allowed, I want to do it with Python or Swift. I am fine with objective-c but I don't prefer to use it for technical interviews. This is iOS role using objective-c mainly.

I used Python. All of my interviewers use Java. Just a head up. (I failed btw). A interviewer guy couldn’t understand Python defaultdict & OrderedDict 👻🤷🏻‍♀️

Depends on the team whether they require a certain language for the interview. But even if they let you use any language you want (most will), it will improve your odds if you can show you are already comfortable in the language(s) the team uses most. If that’s ObjC, and another similarly skilled candidate interviews with that, it means you’ll have to be more impressive than them in another area to be considered.
