Summary:
I use the instruments CLI to kick off UIAutomation tests. The CLI has a -w flag which allows the use of a specific device (or simulator) on which to run a script. This is made initially difficult by issue 17362829 (Instruments CLI does not recognize valid devices), but I discovered that by trying substrings of the valid devices, I was able to get further. Automation is ultimately blocked, with the error "Instruments : Instruments Rejected Command"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install XCode/CLI tools
2. Run an instruments automation command using a valid device:

/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/instruments  -t /Applications/Xcode6-beta.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.xrplugin/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate -w "iPhone 5s (8.0 Simulator)" /path/to/my.app -e UIASCRIPT /path/to/my/test.js -e UIARESULTSPATH /tmp

Expected Results:
I expect an iPhone 5s simulator to launch and my test script to run. 


Actual Results:
Instead, the instruments CLI quits with no output. If I rerun the command with the `-v` flag, i.e.:

/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/instruments  -v -t /Applications/Xcode6-beta.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.xrplugin/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate -w "iPhone 5s (8.0 Simulator)" /path/to/my.app -e UIASCRIPT /path/to/my/test.js -e UIARESULTSPATH /tmp

We get some more interesting output:

Instruments : Instruments Rejected Command

Notice that instruments appears to find the correct device, but ultimately rejects the automation trace command.
