Mac Apps

Can we develop the Mac Apps on the current XCode? Where can I find the Hello World for a Mac App?

I tried looking in apple website, but the only hello world is the widget hello world.

Sorry for posting this in here, seems a lot people hang out in this section.

Start X-Code, choose "Create a new Xcode project", then choose a "Mac OS X" Application.

Thanks. I thought we must download a different XCode version of something. I never noticed the Mac OS X App in the list...

Anyway, any of you planning on converting your iPhone/iPad apps into a Mac App?

Is that a good strategy or it is better to have something totally different (non overlapping function with your iphone/ipad apps)?

What do you think?

Also if you choose File->New Project.

Anyone know about the requirements they'll have for the mac app store about the pixel dimensions of the app or anything?

I think there is some related info we can read about the Mac App Guide.
I found this tutorial.

All looks familiar. Study that throughly i think we should be ok.
