Since the base image of Yocto has the Kernel license type as GPL, if I include my UI Application binary in the Yocto Base image will I need to expose my UI App source code?
No, the same applies to desktop GNU/Linux distributions. You can develop, use and ship software with the license of your choice (including proprietary), you don't extend GPL software or link with it. Otherwise, only GPL compatible licenses would exist in the Linux world.
The GPL FAQ address this kind of questions: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html
