iOS8 Simulator: Proxy authentication pop up not be

Question

The corporate network which I am using is having "proxy" set up to connect to internet. I made the necessary changes in Network settings in mac and I am able to see websites loading in Safari (I have entered the credentials and saved in KeyChain also), but when I try to access the sites via iOS simulator, the connection fails and asks for authentication but the problem is that no pop-up is being shown so that I can enter the username and pwd. I have seen the pop-ups in iOS6 simulator and it used to work. I would like to know whether I need to do some changes specifically to iOS simulator to get this working?

I tried turning on Settings -> Developer -> Allow HTTP services, this works when you are in an open network (home), but in corporate network auth error is being show in a plain html page and there is no pop-up to enter credentials. I also tried restarting the simulator none of this fixed the issue . Below is the error

Error Code :407 Proxy Authentication Required. Forefront TMG requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. (12209).

Thanks in advance

This is mentioned as a known issue in the Xcode 6.1 Release Notes:

iOS Simulator does not support the use of network proxy servers that require authentication. (14889876)
