I would think Google should be more worried than Apple at this point, since Swift works on iOS but Go support in Android is second-class. In fact, there are significant efforts to run Swift on Android which places it at least on par with Go there (and, obviously, ahead on iOS).

I actually don't get the attraction of running Go on Android. I see it as a systems language.

IMHO, Dart is a much more interesting applications language. And it will soon run on iOS (see http://flutter.io)
