The simplest way is to drag the .pkpass bundle from finder into the Simulator.

To get a .pkpass bundle to display on the Simulator via Safari, you will need to serve it via a web server with a MIME type of application/vnd.apple.pkpass .

Since OSX ships with Apache built in you can drop the .pkpass file in your ~/Sites folder and access it via Safari on the simulator at http://localhost/~yourUsername/your.pkpass

This site gives a step by step guide for how to get Apache up and running with Mountain Lion.

To add the .pkpass MIME type you'll need to add the following line to /etc/apache2/mime.types

application/vnd.apple.pkpass    .pkpass
