Any idea where to search for the init-Error when deploying..? Thanks.

Init:

@Override
public void init() {

    NavigationDrawer drawer = new NavigationDrawer();

    NavigationDrawer.Header header = new NavigationDrawer.Header("demo inc", "smart teamwork", new Avatar(21, new Image(DemoApp.class.getResourceAsStream("/icon.png"))));
    drawer.setHeader(header);

    drawer.getItems().addAll(primaryItem, secondaryItem, thirdItem);

    primaryItem.setSelected(true);

    addViewFactory(PRIMARY_VIEW, () -> (View) new PrimaryView().getView());
    addViewFactory(SECONDARY_VIEW, () -> (View) new SecondaryView().getView());
    addViewFactory(THIRD_VIEW, () -> (View) new ThirdView().getView());
    addLayerFactory(MENU_LAYER, () -> new SidePopupView(drawer));

}

@Override
public void postInit(Scene scene) {
    Swatch.ORANGE.assignTo(scene);

    scene.getStylesheets().add(DemoApp.class.getResource("style.css").toExternalForm());
    ((Stage) scene.getWindow()).getIcons().add(new Image(DemoApp.class.getResourceAsStream("/icon.png")));

    switchView(SECONDARY_VIEW);
}

thanks for the hint. but it is still the same error. any other idea than that? — tonimaroni, Nov 22 '16 at 18:44
The jfxmobile plugin since 1.1.0 applies retrolambda to all the dependencies. If any of them has it already applied that will fail. To make sure none of them uses, replace `compile` with `compileNoRetrolambda` in hessian, gson and poi. Charm 4.1.0 and afterburner 1.6.3 don't use retrolambda already. — José Pereda, Nov 22 '16 at 19:05
i did try that before - but also without luck.. ?? thanks again. — tonimaroni, Nov 22 '16 at 19:15
Clean the project before calling `launchIOSDevice`. It might use some old cache classes. — José Pereda, Nov 22 '16 at 19:17
Indeed, will post it as answer so it can be of any help to others. — José Pereda, Nov 23 '16 at 08:18

The exception shows that a lambda expression is failing. Probably those in your init method with the view suppliers.

Possible reasons for this exception are:

Retrolambda

The jfxmobile plugin since version 1.1.0 applies retrolambda to all the dependencies. But you can't apply it twice.

The first step will be checking which dependencies might use retrolambda.

Charm 4+ doesn't use it. Afterburner 1.6.2 does, so either you change it to:

dependencies {
     compileNoRetrolambda 'com.airhacks:afterburner.mfx:1.6.2'
}

or you use the brand new version that excludes it:

dependencies {
     compile 'com.airhacks:afterburner.mfx:1.6.3'
}

To make sure none of the other dependencies use it, replace compile with compileNoRetrolambda in hessian, gson and poi.

Cache

Also, when updating projects with lower versions of the jfxmobile plugin, it is possible that you have a previous build on your cache. This might contain classes that you compiled with retrolambda.

While the code is the same, Gradle will skip compiling them again, but when the retrolambda plugin is applied again over them, this will fail.

To avoid this problem, an easy solution is using clean before building and deploying your project: Run ./gradlew clean launchIOSDevice.
