At the moment I would recommend gRPC for Swift and Rust, even though in general gRPC drives me insane, it is currently the most convenient choice. Use tonic for the Rust server-side, and grpc-swift for the client-side. I've had quite a lot of success with this in the past.

Swift is at least supported via Objective-C, and swift-grpc looks solid https://github.com/grpc/grpc-swift
