Cannot view an uploaded attachment in the desktop app (Mac)

I am having an issue where I cannot open/view an uploaded receipt or bill in the desktop app. When I try I am sent to a screen that says, "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."  (Screenshot attached below) The really strange thing is when I am logged in through my web browser (Safari) I can view all of them, no problem. The other solution I found is to just attach an image once I have created a bill/expense, but that it a tedious pain and it completely defeats the purpose. I have deleted the app and reloaded it, restarted my computer, searched for settings/permissions and I cannot figure it out... Also, my Mac is updated to the latest OS (macOS Sonoma 14.5) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!
