IPhone simulator: is it possible to restore a real iPhone backup?

as the question says, I have a backup of a real iPhone. Now I want to "copy" the contents in my simulator. The reason is that my real iPhone contains data from third-party applications that I want to have in my simulator.

Is it possible?

Thanks Norbert

It is definitely impossible, because applications must be compiled specifically for running on a simulator and iPhone, and such assemblies are incompatible with each other because they are designed to work on different processors.

Edit to add: you can copy data / content (and you can, for Apple applications, such as the address book provided by Apple for the simulator), but if you do not have a version of the application compiled for the simulator, it can work, the contents are not explicitly used.

You can try to trick the Simulator by putting files there:

~/Library/Application Support/iOS Simulator

You can also put the necessary files in your application project or see the Apple documentation about the application data 1
