A client, a large pharmaceutical company, asked me to remove everything that could potentially violate the GDPR from their Android / IOS app. Apple rejected the update despite me stating the reason for the update, because the app could have been a website instead. Some of the functionality I had to remove was mobile specific, like reading measurements from a medical device etc.

I mean, that's just shoddy reasoning or laziness of the client. If you make a medical app like that, you clearly have a lawful basis for processing based on the "contract" lawful basis. So the only issue would be taking care how it's used, and having a policy in place for handling that data.
