Objective-C is as dead because of Swift as C is because of Rust, which is to say, "not very".

Objective-C remains a first-class iOS development language, and there's no sign of that changing for at least another decade.

Although the only framework that was developed in Objective-C after Swift got introduced was Metal, anything else is mostly maintenance and incremental improvements.
