I don't know how XCODE works, but if your changes were saved in files in some way, and if you really did back up everything with Time Machine after putting the changes in files, a complete file restore should restore those changes. One possibility that would have the symptoms you see is that if the changes were stored in files, but the "project file" had somehow not recorded the changes and the corresponding files they are in. And that could happen if you hadn't gotten XCODE to write to disk everything that it knew. Usually you can make that happen in IDEs by shutting them down. So you could be in the situation where the changes are somewhere on disk, but the project file doesn't know about them, and so XCODE won't show them to you. In any case, look at the directory that Time Machine shows you of that last backup. The odds are good that your changed file are there somewhere.
