ios - Unable to execute tests from command line via xcodebuild on Jenkins -

i'm using next command execute tests:

xcodebuild test -workspace myapp.xcworkspace -scheme myscheme -destination 'platform=ios simulator,name=iphone 6,os=8.1'

this works fine locally, when seek on jenkins fails next error:

xcodebuild test -workspace myapp.xcworkspace -scheme myscheme -destination 'platform=ios simulator,name=iphone 6,os=8.1'

xcodebuild: error: unable find destination matching provided destination specifier: { platform:ios simulator, os:8.1, name:iphone 6 }

the requested device not found because no available devices matched request.

available destinations "myscheme" scheme:

so launched xcode gui on jenkins check if iphone 6 simulator present, , it's there. interesting thing when run same xcodebuild command without specifying name , os destination on local, list of available simulators, so:

available destinations "myscheme" scheme: { platform:ios simulator, id:683233c4-ec2b-48a3-826b-10ef62a875cd, os:8.1, name:ipad 2 } { platform:ios simulator, id:6358a6f5-2fd0-4377-bd32-0a2c3329276d, os:8.1, name:ipad air } { platform:ios simulator, id:224533ed-94da-46cc-b1db-1781a1c80710, os:8.1, name:ipad retina } { platform:ios simulator, id:d114bc7e-a913-4063-a349-c119bafc06da, os:8.1, name:iphone 4s } { platform:ios simulator, id:7af6d6f4-c6bc-4a47-b83c-3a4b43abe0dd, os:8.1, name:iphone 5 } { platform:ios simulator, id:be82d607-466a-43e5-863d-6a05f217c117, os:8.1, name:iphone 5s } { platform:ios simulator, id:0afcc9ab-7c59-48c7-9bfb-fbf4865b7a63, os:8.1, name:iphone 6 plus } { platform:ios simulator, id:d183ff05-3023-4fb5-bea0-290ea881040a, os:8.1, name:iphone 6 } { platform:ios simulator, id:26038dbd-791c-421e-99f4-9153ca726a2f, os:8.1, name:resizable ipad } { platform:ios simulator, id:31b2f0ae-3547-4189-a561-cd2088f6c645, os:8.1, name:resizable iphone }

but when same on jenkins, list empty.

i'm using xcode version 6.1 (6a1052d) on both local , jenkins, schemes shared can see them in gui when launch on jenkins. i'm not sure if it's relevant, i'm using workspace cleanup plugin , remove derived info before build on jenkins.

edit: discovered when prepending destination value generic/ proper simulator list on jenkins, still complains couldn't find simulator run on, though 1 used on list:

xcodebuild test -workspace myapp.xcworkspace -scheme myscheme -destination 'generic/platform=ios simulator,name=iphone 6,os=8.1'

xcodebuild: error: unable find destination matching provided destination specifier: { platform:ios simulator, os:8.1, name:iphone 6 }

turns out jenkins using user didn't have plenty permissions. figured out when created job , tried sign archive. default, jenkins uses 'jenkins' user stuff, if ssh or screen share build server other user, screwed. decided remove jenkins daemon , instead utilize jenkinsapp.
