To my knowlage and IANAL, this is only possible with older pre-v3 licenses. v3 licenses specifically prohibit tevoisation, something that Apple's App store TOS effectively mandates by placing restrictions on what App users are allowed to do. I believe this is why apple doesn't ship recent versions of Bash.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

there are no issues with modifying, recompiling a GPLv3 app and uploading & running it on your own iPhone, iPad or Mac - it's not tivoization.

I believe there are issues and serious ones at that. The lawyers at the FSF seem to agree:

Those articles are super old and don't apply anymore - the terms of the app store have changed almost 5 years ago (those articles are 10 years old)
