iOS Simulator - Can't log in with iCloud

I am trying to test the iCloud sync functionality of my app between a (real) device and the simulator, however I can't seem to log into iCloud. When I go to Settings->iCloud and enter my account details, it just gets stuck on 'Verifying'. However if I enter incorrect details, it brings up the invalid password prompt as expected.

Has anyone got a fix for this?

How do I logout of Apple ID on simulator?

To logout from iOS simulator using xCode 6.3. 1, go to Setting -> Safari -> Clear History and Website Data. I didn't see this "Edit/Delete Apple ID" option under Settings/Safari.

How do I connect my iPhone to simulator?

Open up a project in Xcode and click on the device near the Run ▶ button at the top left of your Xcode screen. Plug your iPhone into your computer. You can select your device from the top of the list. Unlock your device and (⌘R) run the application.

Do I need Xcode for iOS simulator?

The Simulator app requires several other large directories from the Xcode distribution in order to work at all. The only official way to install all of those properly is to install the entire SDK from the dmg.

TL;TR Log into http://www.icloud.com and agree to the terms.

It works. But there are some additional steps needed:

At work I tried with my new apple id: at work [email protected]. At first It didn't work even though I was able to access iOS dev center. I realised that it is required to access to http://www.icloud.com with such Apple ID and agree to the terms. After a few seconds I received a 'Welcome to iCloud' email to my work address and then I went back to the simulator and I successfully logged in.

BTW, for a personal account [email protected] I have for ages and use regularly it worked from the beginning probably because I have agreed to the terms a long time ago.

So not only @icloud.com of @me.com or @mac.com accounts work. All accounts work.
