Certainly do NOT want to start a qmake/cmake flame war BUT  CMake will
correctly regenerate the moc/uic files when needed. You just need to update
the CMake file with the new headers that need to be moc'ed and CMake will
regenerate the Xcode project for you. During the build some auto-magical
thing happens and my moc'ed headers are regenerated when needed.

Just my 2 cents
