Why does running UIAutomation methods from KIF result in: “UIAutomation is not enabled on this device. UIAutomation must be enabled in Settings”?

Question

Using: iOS 8.4, XCode 6.4, KIF 3.2.1 ( https://github.com/kif-framework/KIF )

I encounter the following problem on a real device: While running a KIF test case, calling the method, "deactivateAppForDuration" results in the following output seen in the XCode console: " UIAutomation is not enabled on this device. UIAutomation must be enabled in Settings. "

On the simulator, the app does indeed go to the background for the duration specified in the parameter of that method call.

• I can confirm that the setting in device settings, "Developer > UIAutomation" is toggled on.
• The build that I am compiling and running is a Debug build and is signed with my Developer Provisioning Profile (not a distribution profile).
• All the possible compile configurations in the scheme are set to debug (profile for example)
• I can record and playback UI interactions in the instruments developer tool (confirms that the app is built right and that the phone settings are correct)

Specific Code: [tester deactivateAppForDuration:5];

What could I be missing?
