The problem is that C++ and ObjectiveC have overlapping purposes. The issue isn't that it's impossible to use them together. The issue is that you will have to have a strategy for dealing with conflicts before they occur.

That is true. Actually such considerations should be part of any mixed language project, specially in the presence of portable code.
