What is the license of apps on the App Store? I don’t really see the issue, as long as you make al the code available. You don’t need to provide the signing certificates.

GPLv3 has a Tivoization clause: the user must be able to replace the code with their own fork.

If you own the rights to all the code, you can relicense at whim. GPLv3 for the desktop version. GPLv2 (or even proprietary) for the iOS version.

GPLv2 is not compatible either: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/more-about-the-app-store...

What’s keeping them? They can get their own account or they can even use the free accounts.
