Lion [and the Mac app store]

[John Brozycki]

On the topic of Lion:

Has anyone recently gotten a Mac OS X app through the Mac App store successfully?  I remember a threat a while back asking about adding Lion's native full screen support into LiveCode, and I'd read that Apple was/is rejecting apps that don't support full screen.  I've never submitted anything to the Mac App store but am considering something for the future.  It would be nice to know if that route isn't a possibility until fullscreen is support before meeting with rejection.  Will full screen be coming to LC5.5?  Any insights greatly appreciated.

The first one was no big deal, it actually forced me to improve the app, but the second issue is a problem, I've had to disable a feature for Lion users, that's not good.
