Add support for Xcode's 'Shared Folder' and 'Custom' Derived Data location setting

[RuudPuts]

Like me, many developers use the 'Shared Folder' or 'Custom' location for their build and products, which can be set in Xcode's preferences via the 'Locations' tab and than clicking the 'Advanced...' button next to Derived Data.

When building your Calabash target for profiling, to use with start_test_server_in_background this would result in Calabash not being able to find your .app file. The pull request is an addition in simulator_launcher.rb which adds support for Xcode's Derived Data location setting when searching for the .app file to launch.

@RuudPuts Thanks for the pull-request.

Finding the .app is a challenging problem and one that we have wrestled with since day one.

I have a couple of concerns beyond the code comments.

• Is this backward compatible to Xcode 5? One reason that we don't do more on this problem is that we don't want to chase Xcode more than we already do.
• Does this have any effect on Xamarin Studio users? I know you cannot test this, but someone will have to investigate.
• There are no tests that demonstrate this working.

Thanks for your reply Joshua. I'll implement PlistBuddy, add the tests and test on Xcode 5 and Xamarin Studio when I get my hands on it.

@RuudPuts This is an excellent PR and really good idea.

I am going to implement this in run-loop so it can be leveraged for Calabash 2.0.

There are a couple edge cases that need to be sorted out. Shall I @mention you in the run-loop PR so you can track progress?

Nice work!

@jmoody That would be awesome! Really looking forward to it, thanks!

After investigating this issue some more, I see this is a non-trivial problem. Implementing this code in run-loop will take a significant amount of time - I have started by there are many cases to handle.

I have decided I am going to merge this PR as is. It probably won't break anything and it looks to me like it work for most cases.

Thanks!

@arulami It would have been better if you created a new issue. A comment on a closed pull request will get lost.
