Xcode 4.1 Developer Preview 5 Released

Alongside an update to Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview, Apple also released a new build of Xcode 4.1 to developers. Xcode 4.1 Developer Preview 5 is available now for download in the Mac Dev Center, and requires the installation of Lion Developer Preview 3, released through Software Update.

This is a pre-release version of Xcode 4.1 for both Mac and iOS development. This release requires Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 3 and includes iOS SDK 4.3.

The first build of Xcode 4.1 was released in February after the first Lion Developer Preview, with new builds following the release of Lion Developer Preview updates.
