Workaround:

App will still launch but you can #if to define what you don't want to run.

Approach:

1. Create a custom build configuration called Test by duplicating Debug (Project > Info > create new configuration)
2. In Build Settings > Active Compilation Conditions for Test add TESTING
3. Edit Scheme > Info > Build Configuration, set build configuration as Test
4. Use #if !TESTING #endif around the code you don't want to execute when testing.

Frameworks:

If you have embedded frameworks, create the same build configuration in the framework, so that the framework binary is properly linked.
