License for FOSS iOS app (lemmy.world)

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)?

It sounds like there's been some change since that happened. I would review the current terms and GPLv3, if that's the one you want to use.
