I know this is old question but there doesn't seem to be a good question lately either. So, I am adding my solution for this.

The issue is because the scheme is not checked into other branch. If they are not, scheme will disappear on others.

If you wonder why this was not checked in, scheme is local unless you 'Check to Share' box in Manage Scheme and source controlled to git.

After it is saved in a branch, to make this change visible in other branches, you need to propagate this to the rest of working branches.

I did this using git command line because doing this xcode isn't so reliable because it is under .xcodeproj.
