Summary:
When using the `reloadRootViewControllersWithNames:contexts` API in WatchOS 2 Beta 5, the API causes the WatchOS 2 App to hang on startup or when called. No debugging error is logged to the console and the view controllers are not reloaded.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Call API: `[WKInterfaceController reloadRootControllersWithNames:@[@"FirstInterface", @"SecondInterface"] contexts:nil];` in ExtensionDelegate or other class.
2. Run WatchOS2 app in Simulator or on Apple Watch.
3. View the infinite spinning activity monitor and eventual time-out on Watch

Expected Results:
`reloadRootViewControllersWithNames:contexts` as described in documentation should load/re-load the specified interface(s) in the given order with the appropriate contexts

Actual Results:
Calling `reloadRootViewControllersWithNames:contexts` results in a hang of the WatchKit app and eventual timeout of the WatchKit app, no debug messages or errors result.

Version:
WatchOS 2.0 (13S5325c)
