Summary:

Called with a string longer than one character, UIAKeyboard.typeString throws an exception.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the simulator and set its version to 7.0 (11A4372q).
2. Make sure that no other SDKs are installed. It suffices to temporarily remove iPhoneSimulator[5.1, 6.1, etc].sdk from /Applications/Xcode5-DP.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/. Note that you must do this *after* the Simulator has been opened and its version set, otherwise the Simulator will crash.
3. Execute `sh RunUIAutomationTests.sh` from the root directory of the attached project.

Expected Results:

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

Actual Results:

instruments gets to line 5 of LogIn.js (target.frontMostApp().keyboard().typeString("Jeff");), taps the "J", and then prints the following:

2013-06-18 14:26:02.245 instruments[72962:1207] _msgObj is __NSCFString
2013-06-18 21:26:02 +0000 Debug: target.frontMostApp().keyboard() failed to tap 'e'
2013-06-18 14:26:02.246 instruments[72962:1207] _msgObj is __NSCFString
2013-06-18 21:26:02 +0000 None: Script threw an uncaught JavaScript error: target.frontMostApp().keyboard() failed to tap 'e' on line 5 of LogIn.js

Which causes the trace to terminate.

Regression:

Yes: following the steps to reproduce using the Xcode 4.6.2 (4H1003) developer tools (i.e instruments 4.5 (46000)) and iOS 6.1 yields the expected results.

Notes:

This is similarly broken when using iOS 5.1.

I have not been able to test this using iOS 6.1 due to http://openradar.appspot.com/radar?id=3115412.
