I am looking at Xcode 4 by Fritz Anderson now. This is not his first effort; he is an established Mac technical writer and this is a good well edited book. Unlike Xcode 3, which was strictly Mac and developed your skills all in one application example, Xcode 4 has both iOS and Mac examples. I like that and enjoy the fact it uses the latest environment. I would not call it advanced Cocoa for iOS, but more intermediate. But if you only know the Mac side you will learn new approaches.
