You need XCode 4.1 for Lion.

Message when running XCode 4.2:

Xcode 4.2 requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Install the Xcode Tools version that supports Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

If you have 4.2 on Lion run this:

sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools –mode=all

  • The "uninstall-devtools" got me going again, but I then had to reinstall via the installer since the App Store still thought I had XCode installed: – Ryan Olson Jan 22 '12 at 16:31

    The accepted answer is dated. Xcode up to 4.6 should be okay with lion 10.7.5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode#Versions_compare_table – Owen Feb 16 '14 at 18:39

How about the latest? Xcode 4.1

If you aren't using the beta version (registered developers only) you have to get the version of XCode from the Mac App Store which is 4.1. That is the only version that will work with Lion.

I think you need to install directly from the App Store, not from the install disc.
