Summary:

The instruments command-line tool will only run using the iOS Simulator 6.1 SDK. This prevents testing an application against multiple versions of the SDK.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the iOS Simulator. Set its device type to "iPhone" and its version to "5.1 (9B176)".
2. Execute `sh RunUIAutomationTests.sh` from the root directory of the attached project.

Expected Results:

instruments should run the `LogIn.js` script using the Automation trace template (as directed by `RunUIAutomationTests.sh` using the 5.1 Simulator.

Actual Results:

instruments switches the Simulator to 6.1, then runs the script.

Notes:

This bug is reproducible regardless of the SDK that the application is built with--even if it is built using the 5.1 SDK, instruments will still launch the 6.1 Simulator.

This bug is also reproducible even when instruments runs a template which has configured to run a particular executable using the 5.1 SDK--when that template is run using the Instruments GUI, the 5.1 Simulator will launch; but when the command-line tool runs the template, the 6.1 Simulator will launch.

Using the instruments command-line tool included with the Xcode 5 developer tools (build 5A11314m), the tool chooses the *oldest* SDK installed (and in fact will not even run tests using the iOS 6.1 SDK: http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=3115412).
