I saw someone put on the "App compatibility table" that xcode 4 does not work on Lion Preview. I just want someone who has attempted to use xcode 4 for Lion to confirm or deny it.
Got a tip for us?

I have the iOS Dev account and we are in the process of making a Mac app. This week we decided that we will be buying the Mac Dev account to continue working on the app and check out Lion. I just wanted to make sure xcode 4 works. So xcode 4.0 doesn't work but 4.1 should work? thanks for your help

Yes Xcode 4.1 is designed for lion. However, you could just use snow leopard since it's more stable. Though, developing for lion gives your app potentially more features

We want it to feel like a Mac OS X 10.7 app. Fullscreen mode, overlay scroll bar...ect
Fullscreen Mode
O sweet 3rd partys can enable the full screen mode built into lion. Sweet. Speaking of which I wonder when the Mac App updates are gonna start happening. Since we have the Mac App Store, just like in iOS some apps get update for beta os's before the new os is even out. Like StreamToMe which supports iOS 4.3, which should be coming soon hopefully. But surprisingly StreamToME has been the only app to get iOS 4.3 beta support so far, and that was a month ago. Hopefully well see apps that generally don't support full screen mode get it when they're updated for Lion support.

Software development for Lion and/or iOS 4.3 (within Lion) requires Xcode v4.1 GM 2.
