GPL doesn't prevent you from using it on mobile devices, it prevents you from making changes to his code proprietary. You seem to just want to release proprietary software. You should say that out loud if so!
Apple _forces_ you to make proprietary changes to your application (and doesn't allow you to publish the source code of that modification). There is no way to have both a GPL-compliant app and have it on the app store at the same time.

That's not what OP said at all.

It sounds like he addressed the point you raised (App Stores) even though he'd prefer to keep it GPL so changes are required to be shared.
What's the objection?
