Setting up the iWebDriver App for the iPhone/iPad simulator
The iOS simulator enables you to test your web applications without using an actual device, whether it's an iPhone or any other iOS device, such as iPad or iPod Touch. The iOS simulator also has the capability of simulating different versions of the iOS, and this becomes extremely useful if your application needs to be installed on different iOS versions.
You need to set up the iWebDriver application for Selenium to test web applications on iOS Platform.

It is supported on both, the simulator and the real device. In this recipe, we will see how to download and configure the iWebDriver Xcode project from the Selenium code base to run against a simulator.
