I certainly think it's relevant. I would use Lispworks for App Store apps if it were convenient to do so.

I imagine you can do something with Lispworks that is analogous to what you can do with something like Gambit Scheme: package the major functionality of your app as a library and make an XCode project that links to the library. Then use XCode in the normal way to submit your app to the App Store.
