No compatible XCode release yet, it seems. Holding off since I can't afford being unproductive at the moment.

This is what I'm waiting for. C++ lambdas and the new Obj-C literals are way bigger quality of life improvements for me than anything in the OS.

You're okay, actually: I've been using the GM for a while and Xcode 4.5 DP3 is pretty good. It's available on the iOS developer portal if you have access. There's a GM of 4.4 in the Mac developer portal too (should be the same build as the final). Both of these are for Mountain Lion.

I saw 4.4 final apparently is out now. The problem with the DP versions are that you can't submit to the appstore with them.

Also, I think I saw something about 4.4+ no longer supporting armv6, which is a dealbreaker for the few apps I'm still maintaining that needs to be compatible with iPhone 3G. :(

It appears to be in the App Store now...

No Mountain Lion for me till they have an official Xcode that supports the OS. I think the same is true for a lot of other developers too.

If you log in to developer.apple.com and click on the Mac Dev Center there's a button that says 4.4 in the App Store. Wasn't there yet but if you click on the View all downloads link in the section just below the dmg is available there for download. This is without the paid developer account.

Here's the direct link to the xcode downloads which includes the 4.4 final DMG: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcod...

It's now showing in the Mac App Store for me as 4.4, but when I try to update to it, it says my OSX is too new. Hurr...
