C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++ (ordered alphabetically). Omitting external tools Xcode serves as a front end for and libraries which are not unique to the Xcode toolkit, I don’t know of other languages they use in the app itself. This is also the norm for other related apps (e.g. Instruments).
The current version uses Garbage Collection for Objective-C and Objective-C++.
External components such as Clang and Xcode’s indexer are written predominantly in C++.
