Problem with XBee USB Adapter V2

Hello,
I am trying to upload code into this wifi bee adapter (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1279.html) using the XBee USB Adapter v2 (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-588.html). I plug the wifi bee into the adapter and the adapter into the computer, then I load the Arduino IDE where the board is recognized as : "dev/ttyACM1 (Arduino/Genuino Uno)". I try to upload code to the Wifi bee but the process fails with the following error:
"skt500_rcv(): programmer is not responding"
This error happens whether the Wifi bee switch is set to "uart" or "boot". Could you please show me a tutorial or instructions showing how to upload code to the wifi bee using the XBee USB Adapter V2? Thanks!

I connected the wifibee to a GPIO expansion board using the diagram provided here . Setting the wifi bee to "uart", the Port to "/dev/ttyACM1 (Arduino/genuino Uno)" and the Board to "Arduino Uno" I was able to upload some code.
However I need to upload code using the ESP8266WiFi library so I need the board to be set to "Generic ESP8266 Module" in the Arduino IDE. When I do this I get the following error:
"espcomm_sync_failed"
How can I flash the WifiBee setting it as a "GEneric ESP8266 Module"in the Arduino IDE using the "XBee USB Adapter V2" ? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
