Here is what is happening:
I create a brand new "Single View" application in Xcode 4.5.1, build it on the command line using this:
xcodebuild -sdk iphonesimulator6.0 clean build CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=/tmp/AutomationBugRepro
Which results in this output and a successful build. Now when I run a UIAutomation script with instruments, I get the following error:
2012-10-04 11:27:33.930 instruments[4707:f07] Automation Instrument ran into an exception while trying to run the script. NSInvalidArgumentException
2012-10-04 15:27:33 +0000 Fail: An error occurred while trying to run the script.
And the command I used to run this:
instruments -t /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate -D ./trace /tmp/AutomationBugRepro/AutomationBugRepro2.app -e UIARESULTSPATH ./automation_results -e UIASCRIPT automation.js
automation.js contains just this one line:
UIALogger.logMessage("Testing UIAutomation from the command line");
I'm also getting an unspecified error when trying to do any automation stuff in the instruments GUI, which I detailed in this apple dev forum post:

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
