No, as soon as you publish your infringing app, your license to distribute the app is terminated. You are not forced to provide your source code, but you are forbidden from further distribution of the GPL part, even if you then publish your own source code as GPL.
If I remember well, in the GPL version 3 there is a mechanism so that if you publish an infringing app but then correct the infringement by publishing the whole source as GPL within a certain number of days, your license to distribute the app is not terminated.
