I used this simple line of code in my case before parsing that xml:

cleaned = [original stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"&" withString:@"&"];

I did use [NSString stringByDecodingHTMLEntities]; Just before that since my server returns messages with tags.

The ampersand is treated as a special character because it is a special character. Ampersand is the start of an entity.

Ampersand ("&") needs to be written as & amp; or be contained in a CDATA section
