Xcode 7.2: Impossible to run unit tests on iPhone 6s

I have a complex enough application with some tests which as far as I remember used to run and give output whether they were successful or not.

I did not run the tests every time I changed the code (not very proud of it) but now after some months after the last test run, I cannot seem to run the tests on device. Xcode has been updated at least 2 times since then.

Before giving you the 3 different errors I get each time I run the tests (yes, it is that bad), I have to mention that I get nearly the same behavior with a fresh, minimal test app I created to see what is going on. The tests I run in that case are also minimal, like: 

assetEqualsObjects(@"a", @"b").

Every time I run the test, I get no output apart from the "success" or "failed" icon, which is not consistent at all, as it passes or fail the same test depending on its whims.

"sometimes" i get this popup error:

The run destination .... is not valid for Testing the scheme 'TestApplication'.

"some other times" i get the following popup:

process launch failed: timed out trying to launch app

and finally, sometimes I get an error in the main loop in this line:

 return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));

I would go deeper to my app and see what I m doing wrong, but I luckily created a minimal app and i get the same behavior.

i would like that someone if not give a solution, at least try to help to isolate the error...

UPDATE: my primary development device is an iPhone 6s, but I tried to reproduce the problem on an iPhone 6 and and could not, everything works as it should. So the problem may be at the phone...

So, the problem appears to be solved after rebooting the device. When the problem first arose, I rebooted the Mac and Xcode but this did not help, so my guess was that it was not deterministic. I was proved wrong...
