I recently made an iOS app that I’d like to distribute the source code for. I was initially going to license it with the GPL, but I read that apparently Apple’s App Store isn’t compatible with the terms of the GPL. Is there something that’s typically recommended by the FOSS community for this situation (other than just not distributing an iOS app)?

I don’t know jack about shit, but maybe look into what license Jack Dorsey is using for his ~~new~~ upcoming apps, Bitchat and Sun Day.

It was pretty easy to compile them from source and deploy them inside of Live Container on my phone
