Hi,

I just successfully created my first ipa-file on the mac via command line.
Now, when I log in from another machine and call gradle I get

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to window server - not enough permissions.

My favorite search engine says that this is because I am not running headless and suggestes to add '-Djava.awt.headless=true' to my command, but that does not change anything:

~/gradle-1.8/bin/gradle packageMobile '-Djava.awt.headless=true'

Do I need to do anything else? install something that works as headless server?

   There's a 'headless-server' option available for the Flex compiler which may help you: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c...

   yes, that is what I use to compile the SWF, which runs fine but for packing the ipa I need some more magic.

   OK, I found 2 workarounds here:
   http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10661160/run-adt-adobes-air-deve...
   one is to make everything headless (by replacing java from bin with a script that adds "-Djava.awt.headless=true") and the second one is to log in as a normal user.
   The 2. option works fine, because I can switch back to the login screen and anyone else can use the mac while I can compile my project from everywhere, anytime I want.
   So I think this issue is solved. Feel free to close the discussion.
