Is it possible to test iOS 8 Handoff feature with simulator?

Can I test Handoff with Simulator and one device, or can it only be tested with two physical devices?

Apple's documentation:

API Differences

Simulator APIs don’t have all the features that are available on a device. For example, the APIs don’t offer:

  • Receiving and sending Apple push notifications
  • Privacy alerts for access to Photos, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders
  • The UIBackgroundModes key
  • Handoff support

In addition, Simulator doesn’t support the following frameworks:

  • External Accessory
  • Media Player
  • Message UI
  • In UIKit, the UIVideoEditorController class

As far as i know and experienced, simulator doesn't give any option to enable Handoff or pair Bluetooth device. Due to this, I believe what you asked is not possible.
