Summary:
If I set a value in NSUserDefaults in the UIApplicationDelegate, I expect to be able to launch the app with Instruments.app and inspect that value in UIAutomation.

> preferencesValueForKey
>> Gets the value of a specified app user preference.

This works in iOS 6 and iOS 7.

It works on the iOS 6 - 8 Simulators.

It does not work on iOS GM.

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:@"Hey!" forKey:@"com.example.set-in-uiapplication-delegate"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

// Optionally log the NSUserDefaults to visually confirm that the value has been set.
return YES;
```

2. Build and run the application, targeting the iOS 8 GM device
3. Stop the run from Xcode.
4. Launch Instruments 6 GM and select the Automation template.
5. Target the iOS 8 GM device and the app you just built and ran.
6. Execute this script

```
var target = UIATarget.localTarget();
var valueSetInAppDelegate  = target.frontMostApp().preferencesValueForKey("com.example.set-in-uiapplication-delegate");
if (valueSetInAppDelegate == "Hey!") {
    UIALogger.logPass("The value I set in the app delegate was '" + valueSetInAppDelegate + "'");
} else {
    UIALogger.logFail("Expected to see 'Hey!' but found '" + valueSetInAppDelegate + "'");
}
```
