Google has had a Go app, "Ivy," on the app store since 2015. I think it was just an experiment at getting Go to build for the App Store and getting it approved, but it was in fact approved.
It's true that fork() isn't allowed on non-jailbroken phones, so you can't shell out to a Go binary (you can on Android if you want). But you can build a static library in Go and link it and call into it with cgo from Objective-C or something.
