Just to clarify for the developer, thasian, because you have all rights in the code you can license it differently to different users. The version on github will be gpl; you presumably could have different license for app store purchasers. I think the ios port of Vim is done this way, it's github link is https://github.com/terrychou/iVim . Not sure if that's actually the way terrychou did it, but surely you could ask him about it.
