The store is clearly broken as GPLed code has no impact on the store selling the app. Apple clearly doesn't understand Copyright law. (or, are trying to poison their competitors with unfair business practices...)

This is not a bug. It is working as designed. AppStore wants to put more restrictions on the user about what they can do with the app. This is incompatible with the GPL.

There's nothing the GPL requires that should be a problem for an app store. It's a bug.
