James E. King III resolved THRIFT-2863.
---------------------------------------
       Resolution: Won't Do
         Assignee: James E. King III
    Fix Version/s: 1.0

As support for the older cocoa compiler and library have been removed (see THRIFT-4719), all of the issues in Jira related to that code have also been removed.  For legacy cocoa support you can use version 0.12.0 - everyone is expected to move to swift if they want to use the next release of Thrift.

> I have a Thrift struct:
> struct ObjectRecord {
>   1: byte viewXOffset,
>   2: byte viewYOffset,
> }
> The generated Java code looks like this:
>   public ObjectRecord(
>     byte viewXOffset,
>     byte viewYOffset) {...}
> The generated Objective C header looks like this:
> @interface ObjectRecord : NSObject <TBase, NSCoding> {
>   uint8_t __viewXOffset;
>   uint8_t __viewYOffset;
> }
> According to the docs (https://thrift.apache.org/docs/types), a Thrift byte is an 8-bit signed integer.
> Can work around for now by converting back to signed after reading the value.
