Was it working fine before? If so what change did you do to have this issue?

Was it working fine before? If so what change did you do to have this issue?

by add my code one by one, i find that this problem, could you tell me how to fix it?

type S struct{
A byte
}
macbookpro:Downloads fredlee$ gomobile bind -target=ios golang.org/x/mobile/example/bind/lightControl

meanwhile
type S struct{
A [1]byte
}

macbookpro:Downloads fredlee$ gomobile bind -target=ios golang.org/x/mobile/example/bind/lightControl

it works

[orange-jacky]

type S struct{
A int8
}

it still works

[triztian]

I think only int, int8, int32 and int64 signed integers are supported, byte is an alias to uint8 which is unsigned.
