Summary:
Using Xcode 6 beta 4, a UIAutomation script cannot be run from the command line. This used to work in Xcode 5.1.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Xcode 6 beta 4.
2. Create an iOS app and Profile it (to create the .app)
3. Create a javascript file with just "var target = UIATarget.localTarget();"
4. Run this from the command line:
/Applications/Xcode6-Beta4.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/instruments -t /Applications/Xcode6-Beta4.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.xrplugin/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate <path to .app in DerivedData> -e UIASCRIPT <path to js file from step 3>

Expected Results:
The Simulator should start with the app running, and the javascript code should be executed.

Actual Results:
The command returns immediately with an exit code of 253.

Version:
Xcode 6 beta 4
instruments, version 6.0 (56127.2)
