In expectationForPredicate(predicate: evaluatedWithObject: handler:) you don't give an actual object, but a query to find it in the view hierarchy. So, for example, this is a valid test:

let predicate = NSPredicate(format: "exists == 1")
let query = XCUIApplication().buttons["Button"]
expectationForPredicate(predicate, evaluatedWithObject: query, handler: nil)

waitForExpectationsWithTimeout(3, handler: nil)
