Due to browser security restrictions, most "Ajax"
requests are subject to the same origin policy and the request cannot
successfully retrieve data from a different domain, sub-domain, or protocol.
(https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Same_origin_policy_for_JavaScript)

Unfortunately only Graphite (windows client) simulator is applicable for
debugging such scenarios.

But you may workaround this browser limitation by:

1. Test on device as you need to build and install the application only once,
then use [menu] key on Android device or hold down three fingers for 1 sec on
iOS device to sync.

2. Or use CORS and alter security with custom header while testing with Mist simulator
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en/http_access_control)
make your server return this custom header:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://app.icenium.com

3. Or by using JSONP services
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP)
Here is an example of JSONP, Twitter search (http://pastebin.com/mD5shPKE) just
paste at index.html in Icenium new jQuery project.

Please let me know if I can be of any further help,
