Is it possible to submit an application to the Apple Store under a GPL license?

---

You can submit it, but it sounds like Apple's TOS will violate the license.

This app store license conflicts with the GPL. The app store license states that you cannot distribute your app on other platforms other than the app store, but the GPL license permits people to do so.

Yes, it sure is.

The code is GPL'ed, you do not submit your code to Apple, the binary is what you submit and that is under the terms of their TOS, you can use your code to build binaries for whatever platforms and on whatever licenses.

As far as i can understand Apple's TOS has nothing to do with the license of the code.
