Running the “test” action of xcodebuild on an iOS project always fails when using an iOS Simulator destination

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to the root of an iOS project folder in Terminal
2. Run `xcodebuild test` with the appropriate arguments for the project’s workspace, scheme and use a destination specifier for an iOS Simulator. For example:

xcodebuild test -workspace Outlets.xcworkspace -scheme Outlets -sdk iphonesimulator -destination="platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6s Plus,OS=latest"

Expected Results:
xcodebuild will run the tests for the specified scheme.

Actual Results:
xcodebuild always fails to run the tests with a message about a “build only device”, even when a specific simulator is given by name or ID. This is true for all of the following:
- simulator specified by name (e.g. “name=iPhone SE”, “name=iPhone 6”)
- simulator specified by GUID (e.g. "id=B3183F65-0860-47D3-BA02-2FF56126C7BB”)
- OS explicitly specified (e.g. “OS=10.0”, “OS=9.3”)
- OS set to “latest"
- OS not specified (should default to “latest”)

-----
User defaults from command line:
    destination = platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 6s Plus,OS=latest

Build settings from command line:
    SDKROOT = iphonesimulator10.0

xcodebuild: error: Failed to build workspace Outlets with scheme Outlets.
    Reason: A build only device cannot be used to run this target.

xcodebuild test -workspace Outlets.xcworkspace -scheme Outlets -destination="platform=iOS Simulator,id=B3183F65-0860-47D3-BA02-2FF56126C7BB"
User defaults from command line:
    destination = platform=iOS Simulator,id=B3183F65-0860-47D3-BA02-2FF56126C7BB

xcodebuild: error: Failed to build workspace Outlets with scheme Outlets.
    Reason: A build only device cannot be used to run this target.
