Answer 1

The most common way to install an app in the iOS Simulator is to use Xcode to build and install it. If you have a simulator app bundle which was built by someone else (or archived), you can install it using simctl:

xcrun simctl install booted /path/to/your.app

Keep in mind, of course, that these apps need to be iOS Simulator apps, not iOS Device apps.
