Finally fixed the stale path issue! Now the updater works correctly in the app_user_data space, where it has permission to append the csv files with new data!

Next and hopefully final issue was a mismatch between a successful run of the main functions vs returning an error... type not compatible. A good run returns data in a tuple, if the except block runs, it was returning a standard error message. Simple fix to handle the mismatch, just package the error message as a tuple! Now on this rebuild I can catch the actual error in the ADB logcat and solve it... then the apps on both windows AND android will be 100%

With the error not returning properly, it is never displayed in the error logs. So one more problem to identify and solve.

What a journey!
