Requested File Format Not Supported

I've seen this has been asked a couple of times already, but the solutions for those folks don't seem to be working for me.

I run the workflow in the app and it works fine. I run it from the Gallery and I get "File Upload Error. Requested File Format is not supported"

 

The file I'm trying to select is a simple text file, but it has no file extension. I've tried adding .txt or .flat to the end to see if that would work, and it doesn't make a difference.

I've tried updating the arbitrary file specification in the browse tool several different ways, and none of them helped.

 

Any help is appreciated. I'm out of ideas

I never did get a good solution. Haven't updated my app in a while, our company is trying to keep everyone on the same version and is holding back on the upgrade.
