Solving the errror INIT FAILED (mux thread)! on gecko iphone toolkit

If you encountered this error while using gecko iPhone toolkit..

INIT FAILED (mux thread)!
Possible causes:
iTunes 9 or newer is NOT installed.
Could not bind to the port 2202 (make sure only one instance is running!


Most probably your java was updated to the latest version which is not supported by gecko since it doesn't get an update for sometime now from the author..

Simple Solution:

Solve this by downgrading your java to some older version like 6 or older version of 7.

Up to java version version 7 update 4 is supported according to my test higher than that and you'll probably get the error.

  3. I'm still getting the error. I just downloaded java version version 7 update 4 as instructed. Maybe it's because im using a Windows 7 64bit machine?
