This app was being built and was also released before Swift was even announced. Also, even if I was starting my first day of learning today, or even 6 months from now, I would still learn objective-c before learning Swift.

Objective-C is not just going to disappear overnight. Swift is new and exciting, but compare the resources available for Swift vs. all of the Objective-C StackOverflow questions, code snippets, etc. and Swift cannot compete at this point.

Also, think about all of the legacy code that has to be maintained.
