Why do attachments not work when app is published but does when in Studio?

I have an attachments object here in powerapps.

When I'm in studio I can successfully download the files. But when I publish the app and try to download a file, this happens.

What is going on here? Isn't studio supposed to simulate the app actually being published? Why does it work in studio but not when I publish the app? I remember this working fine a few days ago and I haven't changed anything since then, this just started happening out of nowhere.

    noticed it was actually failing in studio too where the file was corrupted or empty. fixed it  by changing the "Value" property of the attachment.
