in the "near" future we will need to run 'application tests' that require a running instance of an emulator to be used. Currently xcodebuild supports this with the --destination flag parameter e.g.

xcodebuild -workspace AeroGear-iOS/AeroGear-iOS.xcworkspace/ -scheme AeroGear-iOS -sdk iphonesimulator test -destination platform="iOS Simulator,OS=7.0,name=iPhone Retina (4-inch)"

this boots up an emulator instance and runs the tests.

We need to:
a) Verify that the upcoming xctool release not only supports running Kiwi tests but also supports the --destination param. It seems it will do and there is an ongoing discussion for it on the xctool issue tracker here:

https://github.com/facebook/xctool/issues/205

b) Verify travis can support it. People have success with external tools as described here:
