First of all kickflip is a terrific work.. hats off to the developer .But one question is bothering me. That is kickflip have used ffmpeg wrapper which means ffmpeg library has been used. But FFmpeg is LGPL compliant which is against app store .. So isn't it that if my ios app ...if it uses kickflip may face future problem in due to ffmpeg Lgpl licesce..

An answer would be appreciated

LGPL code is generally considered fine, it's the GPL that you have to worry about.

VLC for iOS uses FFmpeg (LGPLv2.1): http://feepk.net/2014/12/02/mobilevlckit-and-vlckit-part-1/
