Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode 6.1 (6A1052d)
Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
On Xcode 6.1 and 6.2, when a target has the option Launch due to a background fetch event checked, Xcode launches the simulator and brings the app to the foreground, as if the option is ignored.
Additionally the  - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application performFetchWithCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult result))completionHandler method is not invoked.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the attached project

Expected Results:
1. Xcode should launch the app in the background of the simulator

Actual Results:
1. Xcode launches the app normally, ignoring the target option

Regression:
The issue can be reproduced every time on Xcode 6.1, Xcode 6.2.
The feature works ok on Xcode 5.
All of this is on Yosemite.
