The ios simulator (Xcode) is good installed. The ios simulator is under the browser button.
I only get the message: iOS Simulator cannot open files in the “HTML document” format.
What am I doing wrong?

I have no idea what you or others who are having problems are doing wrong
as I have had no problems whatsoever.

The only difference perhaps is that I NEVER access the iOS Simulator
through the Freeway Browser Preview, but rather
1 open the app separately
2 choose an iOS device and launch it’s mobile browser
3 preview from Freeway to the desktop Safari browser
4 drag the url from desktop Safari to iOS Simulator mobile browser
5 in desktop Safari choose menu Develop > iOS Simulator > (page to inspect)
This method has worked for me ever since I started using iOS Simulator and
with every version since then.
iOS Simulator Version 8.1 (550.3)
OSX Version 10.9.5 (Build 13F34)

And apparently, the real tiny sticky point with this approach is that you must drag the URL using the little globe icon (the Favicon) to the left of the address in the Location field, not the text itself.

I think the big misunderstanding is, that Freeway allows us to have iOS Simulator being part of the Browser-list (natively) so it’s damn fair, that people ask why it’s not working.

Freeway needs what a good number of web design apps have these days - a robust way to preview in an mobile device, either by:
1 - Running a server in itself, supplying a URL you type into the mobile browser
or
2 - Supplying a “helper” app that is effectively a browser that knows about Freeway (and vice versa).
Option 1 should work on the iOS simulator Apple supplies, whereas 2 would only work on real hardware (I don’t think the simulator will allow you to install apps other than the one being tested).

As you’re designing for the browser you might as well test in a browser…
You can do a lot of the mobile testing in a browser quick and easy install Free Bookmarklet…
To install….
To use…
This has all the common mobile and tablet sizes (and can be rotated) You can also customise with your own sizes. (it even has a print viewport).
Note: Everything points to a future with every screen size possible. Using common apple phone sizes to break a design a site is really the wrong thing to do. You should really be designing breakpoints when your design needs it.

There are many things that don’t work in Freeway as they should, but
actually do work with some extra effort. All I am saying is that there is a
way Freeway and iOS Simulator works reliably for me.
But who am I to say such a thing.

What Walt said above is the solution to this. I spent months of frustration with this, and even filed a BR with Apple!
You have to drag the icon on the left (not always a globe) in the address bar, and not the text into iOS sim.

Hi Iain,
Is the address bar in the last option in the program Xcode?
“Check out an existing project”

No, in desktop Safari.

It’s very strange because I ALWAYS used the iOS Simulator directly from Freeway and NEVER had any problems. Only now that I finally upgraded to Yosemite, the iOS Simulator has stopped working. Now I have to use the method The Big Erns described.
