Instruments is crashing one one iphone while on the other one it works great

Support
1

Strangely the tests work on one device but not the other!
i am using 2 iphone5 devices, both running ios 8.1.
for some reason the first iphone works perfectly while one the other the application is installed but not get launched.
according the log it seems that the instruments is crashed!
any idea what am i missing here? i tried to compare the configuration on both devices & it seems identical (enable ui automation is set to true).
any help will be most appreciated…

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
	capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Automation test2");
	capabilities.setCapability("device", "iPhone 5");
	capabilities.setCapability("udid", "8a81fe38953a66ae654563bbd8ca87d7339a939d");
	capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "8.1");
	capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PLATFORM, "Mac"); 
	 capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
    capabilities.setCapability("app", "/Users/qa/Desktop/Appium/Pogoplug.app");

driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);

Yes i do agree with that, even for me on some iOS devices, Instruments are crashing. And for other devices it works fine.
Also i face this issue, that tests is running fine on one machine and on other machine instruments are crashing.

If the problem is with Instruments.Then try and open instruments on your Mac and check if you are able to launch your application through Instruments->Automation ,as Appium internally uses Instruments to automate. It might help you get to the root cause.
