DTDeviceKit: Could not start house arrest service for app identifier XXX - ios

Question

I'm using Xcode 7.3.1 and executing XCTest via the command-line on my device, "iPhone 1", which is an iPhone 6 running iOS 9.3.5:
xcodebuild \
-scheme Todo \
-project Todo.xcodeproj \
-destination "platform=iOS,name=iPhone 1"\
clean build test
The build succeeded, however it failed after compiling the test files:

Running the tests in Xcode did not succeed either. And it always fails with the errors described in these posts:
dyld: could not load inserted library
Xcode 7.0 XCTest dyld: could not load inserted library IDEBundleInjection
I've tried the solutions suggested in the posts (i.e. fix provisioning profile and code signing), but it did not help. Has anyone faced similar problems?

Answer 1

I was trying to find out if DTDeviceKit was running on my machine, but it did not. My next suspicion was that it could be running on the phone.
After rebooting my phone, it works.

Answer 2

I filed a technical support ticket with apple. Turns out it's a bug which affects 32 bit devices. So if you test on a 64 bit device you won't have this issue.
