I had this same issue for months and today I FINALLY solved it with:

ADVTrustStore

You are going to want to use a project called ADVTrustStore from github. It does some fancy magic but it will correctly install certificates into your root trust-store on the simulator.

Steps to install a custom cert

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/ADVTOOLS/ADVTrustStore.git

# Enter the repo directory
cd ADVTrustStore/

# Copy your .crt file 
cp somewhere/something.crt my.crt

# conver to a .pem file
openssl x509 -in my.crt -out my.pem -outform PEM

# Install the pem in the simulators
./iosCertTrustManager.py -a my.pem

Using this process I was able to get GoogleStreetView images to render correctly while behind a corporate firewall using SSL resigning with self-signed certificates

Background

I was using CharlesProxy and i noticed it was correctly installing certificates into the Simulator but they did not show up in the Settings - Profiles section. Then after some searching I discovered this tool. There are probably a few other tools out there but in my case the drag-and-drop never worked correctly for all cases. Safari would be fine but not my applications.
