If i use samba client in ios , app store wont reject the app due to GPL license of samba or is there any trick to submit it app store ? ? @kolyvan @alex-v1981

There are some iPhone apps in App Store that open smb shares, so I assume that should be no problem. I think they should be using libsmbclient but not sure.
