Well, unless there's been changes made to the LGPL'd code then the App using it could simply point to VLC's webpage for the source code. LGPL only requires changes made to the actual LGPL licenced code be made open source, unlike GPL which requires the entire application using/linking GPL licenced code to be open sourced under GPL.
The reason why Apple AppStore and GPL don't mix is that Apple added a restriction as to how many times you could copy the binary while GPL explicitly states that you are allowed to make as many copies as you want.
