Apple Seeds Xcode 4.1 Golden Master Build to Developers

Alongside today's release of iOS 5 beta 3, Apple also seeded the golden master (GM) version of Xcode 4.1 to developers. The release comes ten days after Apple seeded Xcode 4.1 Developer Preview 7 with the OS X Lion GM build, and signals further readiness for the public launch of OS X Lion.

Xcode is Apple's package to help developers create applications for OS X and iOS. The software saw a major revamp earlier this year, and is now being updated for Apple's forthcoming OS X Lion and iOS 5 releases.
