Does your code use generics? According to the Proxygen documentation, the tool cannot generate bridging wrappers for method signatures which include generic types.

I encountered the same error message and the use of generics in public method signatures turned out to be the problem. I worked around the issue by using the Proxygen branch referenced here.

Edit: direct link to the branch.

Alternatively you could try to use non-generic data structures instead, or to wrap your generic data structures in non-generic classes (e.g. wrap List<MyObj> in a MyObjList class) and place these non-generic classes in a different project.
