Yes, I have a Macruby app in the store for almost a year now ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/subtitleresync/id435993360?mt=12 ) …  I must admit that i still develop on a separate machine with SL and Xcode 4.0.2 because i want to stay compatible with SL too for the time being (I test it on Lion too ofc) … but more important I must say that with every release of OSX or Xcode something seems to be "broken" or changed with Macruby and Interface Builder, compiler, code signing, etc. … I just don't like to hunt down errors like that for hours or even days so until it's really necessary, i don't fix what ain't broken :) .. it sometimes takes days or longer for the Macruby community to come up with a solution too so i just prefer to stay focused on the apps and leave the tooling stuff to others ... having said that, when you finally do have a good setup, it is a breeze to develop an app in Macruby and get it in the store as long as you meet the criteria of the review team .. i had another app rejected for reasons which were at least a bit vague but that belongs to the life of an app developer :)))
