Question

Within the iOS Simulator, is it possible to access the App Store?

That is, can I install the App Store application within the Simulator and download applications t

Answer 1

You can put application in your simulator. But you cannot run it. They have restricted users to run applications. I found where the .app files are. Machintosh HD - Application - Xcode - Contents - Developer - Platforms - iPhoneSimulator.platform - Developer - SDKs - iPhoneSimulator.sdk - Applications All applications are in there but, I can't run them. However, I succeeded to install .app files. In .ipa file, there is 'payload' folder, and .app file is in there. All you need is just copy it and paste it in Applications folder. Then you can see the icon on your simulator. But, it will not work.
