Why am I not able to connect to iTunes on Simulator?

Question

When I try to turn on iTunes & App Store in Settings->Apple ID on Simulator, I get an error that says, "Could Not Sign In" and "There was a problem connecting to the server." I am sure I got the password right and that Apple ID works on my devices with iTunes. Why am I not able to connect to iTunes on Simulator?
