Apple's review process and their rules about the kind of apps and code that are allowed to run? Heck, do they even allow GPLv2 and GPLv3 apps on the app store?

  It doesn’t matter whether they do. The anti-tivoization clause in the GPLv3 license (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#Tivoization https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#Tivoization) forbids developers from selling iOS apps that contain GPLv3-licensed software (the situation w.r.t. GPLv2 is less clear)

    Not really the problem.

    I don't think that would apply if it is possible to compile the app yourself and install your modified version by side loading it.

  It would violate the terms of those licenses for Apple to distribute binaries in the same manner that they currently are.
