If the code is yours, then absolutely. If your code depends on other open source code, then probably (but double check). Charge for the app on the App Store. Post the code online under an open source license (for example, on GitLab.com). Add a page to your app that explains where to get the code. Even with GPL you’ll see people talk about “free as in freedom, not free as in beer”. Back in the day, people charged for CDs and postage. App Store distribution seems like the modern version of that. Edit: Examples… Check out Signal and Pythonista. Both great apps that are largely open source. Pythonista charges for the app, which runs Python on iOS. Signal is free, but officers an in app subscription to support the foundation.

Not sure what you mean, almost everyone depends on open source libraries these days. My project is not just gluing several os libs, if that you meant > Check out Signal and Pythonista. Pythonista look like a onetime purchase. Signal is majorly donation based and it is non profit AFAIK.
