I use mostly Linux and not Xcode but I assume the qmake vars 
OBJECTS_DIR, UI_DIR, MOC_DIR and DESTDIR also work there.
Using them you can control where all the files will be placed and avoid 
polluting yout source directory.

I am using

MOC_DIR = .build/moc
UI_DIR = .build/ui
OBJECTS_DIR = .build/obj
DESTDIR = ./bin

  in nearly every .pro file. This keeps my source directory clean. qmake 
will even create those dirs automatically.
By using ".build/" this directory is created inside the source dir but 
hidden in Linux.
