There's obviously a lot of buzz around writing Cocoa Touch applications, but there doesn't seem to be much around creating applications for OS X apps using XCode 4.
Does anyone know of any resources that cover OS X Application Development using XCode 4? Are tutorials for XCode 3 usable for XCode 4 Development?
Thanks.

Non-native platforms, like Flutter or React Native, won't make iOS builds without Mac either. Storyboards can be edited only in Xcode, so development without Xcode means development without Storyboards. Alternative IDEs for iOS development require Xcode. You don't need to run it, but you should have it installed.
Step 1 - Install XCode 11 and open it. Step 2 - Select "File" and "New" and "Project" from the main menu. Step 3 - Select "App" (top left) and Select "Next" (bottom right). Step 4 - Give your app a name, for User Interface select "Storyboard" and then select "Next".
AppKit contains the objects you need to build the user interface for a macOS app. In addition to drawing windows, buttons, panels, and text fields, it handles all the event management and interaction between your app, people, and macOS.
Xcode is a great IDE by Apple for developing iOS/iPad/Mac Apps. It has simulators built in so you can test apps within Xcode itself.
I would say tutorials for Xcode 3 are valid/close-to-ideal for learning OS X development, and then perhaps go through a tutorial on the changes between Xcode 3 and 4, as they are quite significant (but relatively easy to grasp/get used to/not too crucial to actual development). The differences between 3 and 4 are more usability/User Experience related more than actually changing how you write code.

I just found this awesome tutorial series teaching Mac OS X Objective-C/Cocoa app creation using Xcode 4! The first video is found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_MJd8wqTBM
It seems really great so far. I have been looking for something like this for so long! Everything else I have found is either very high-level, very low-level, or very outdated.

Have you looked at developer.apple.com There is more than enough there to get you started.
