It worked like magic. Thanks, it seems that with app folder, there is no need for referencing the name of the app, as the default location of the app, will always be the name of the app folder. very grateful for your help, you saved me tons of tons and unnecessary hustle.

That's correct. You can also use files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue to list the contents of any folder. For example, to list the contents of the root folder for your app, supply a path value of the empty string "". Then you can get the path values of any of the contents from the Metadata.path_lower value for the entry in the result.
