One more caveat to be aware of: You have to already set the Class properties of your entities to something different than NSManagedObject. Otherwise Xmo'd won't do anything.

Note: Xmo'd currently doesn't work with Xcode 4/5, afaik.

What I do is just add a "MOGenerator" target in Xcode:

1. Go to your project and click on "Add Target..." in the "Targets" section.
2. Choose "iOS -> Other -> Aggregate"
3. Go to "Build Phases"
4. Select from the Menu "Editor -> Add Build Phase -> Add Run Script Build Phase"
5. Paste your MOGenerator command into the Run Script section, for example:

PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/bin    
cd "${PROJECT_DIR}/MyApp"
mogenerator --human-dir Classes --machine-dir MOGenerated --model MyApp.xcdatamodeld/MyApp.xcdatamodel --template-var arc=true

Now you can update your MOGenerator-generated by simply running this target.
