Despite Apple claiming that the feature was a “developer preview” just a few weeks back, stating that multitasking gestures would not make it into iOS 4.3, when iOS 4.3 GM hit last week we noted that the gestures setting was in fact still in tact for those developers who wished to activate them via Xcode.
However, the feature may also be live in iOS 4.3 for non-developers, too. Reader Wills (@WillsB3) notes that his non-developer, never-connected-to-Xcode iPad shows ‘Multitasking Gestures’ underneath Settings. If true, this could spell another selling point for iPad 2 tomorrow.
[Update] – We’ve just recieved word via reader Jeffery that this is in fact the case.
[via @WillsB3]I just hooked my iPad up to Xcode and clicked use for development. I don’t have a developer login so I just hit cancel. I check general settings just for kicks, Multitasking Gestures!

iPad Multitasking/Navigation Gestures Still Live In iOS 4.3, For Non-Developers? – [UPDATE: YES] • http://t.co/kRSpZei
The last tip works great. I used Xcode 3.2.1. It complained that the OS was too new, but the gestures are still there.
I only have 3.2. My Organizer window doesn’t have Devices. Just an empty Projects & Sources sidebar and No Editor in the main window. None of the buttons are active. Restarted and reconnected iPad. You seem to have the oldest successful version on the internets (of those that have stated their version). What shows up in your Organizer window? If you can take a screenshot, could you send it to elbcomputer (at) mac (dot) com?
Thanks

Working great! Thanks a lot!
This makes sense! I tried to connect my iPad to XCode a while ago although I never have had a developer licence, it must have tricked my iPad into some sort of hybrid semi-developer unlocked mode..

Can I get a mention? I tipped you guys off on this one days ago!

That was easy. Thanks for the tip!
[...] The gestures in iOS 4.3 final are the same of earlier betas: four or five finger pinch to Home screen, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, swipe left or right to switch between apps. So if you have Xcode and a dev account, update your iPad to 4.3 final and you’ll still be able to activate gestures. [via RazorianFly] [...]
does this works on a iPhone 4?
