Please paste you video file or any file which you want to preload with ios simulator in below path

String str = /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Library/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 9.2.simruntime/Contents/Resources/SampleContent/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/

or you can use below java code which will copy your desired file into the simuator location.

  public  void preloadFiletoSimulator(String filename){
    try {
        File dest = new File(str);
        String name = AppConstant.RESOURCE_DIR+filename;
        File source = new File(name);
        FileUtils.copyFileToDirectory(source, dest);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
