  • You can drag and drop apps into the simulator, but it needs proper signing. Also, you can re-sign apps yourself, but you need a development certificate from Apple which costs $100 bucks.

    The iPhone Simulator runs on a Mac using the processor instruction set native to the machine, either Intel or PowerPC. iPhone apps are compiled to be run on ARM devices. It's as impossible to run these apps on a Mac as it is to run Windows apps on an iPad, unfortunately.
