So to make is clear: I would like to use Apple code in a GPL project.
Is it possible or not?
The short answer is: yes it is possible. But now go and actually read
the license terms and make sure that you follow them according to your
use. Honestly, it's only like 4 short paragraphs, and (as has already
been pointed out) they are included at the beginning of every single
source file in Apple's SDKs, and you could have gotten your answer in a
tenth the time if you had just read those. Which you still need to do
anyway...
