> I'm under the impression that one cannot distribute GPL apps in the App Store

That meme is rooted in an analysis and statement that the FSF made about the App Store agreement several years ago. Those terms have changed many, many times since then, but the FSF has never revisited the question of compatibility. The best thing to do would be to either read the terms to make a decision for yourself if you're confident that you can grok them, or to seek advice from a lawyer if not. But don't assume there's anything solid that can be concluded from dead memes.
