python - PyInstaller Error: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file ot directory: 'myKivyfile.kv'

Question

So I have tried to get my python / kivy project into a standalone "exe". I succeeded in making it "onedir" but after it compiled (with no errors) into a single exe, it doesn't work. The app window just flashes and closes. Command I put in to compile: pyinstaller --onefile -w --icon=download.ico --debug=all --add-data filefinder.kv;. filefinder.py. I added the debug flag to figure out what's causing it to crash and got the following window errors:

Failed to execute script pyiboot01_bootstrap

Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write'

Traceback: ['Traceback (most recent call last):
', ' File 
"Pyinstaller\loader\pyiboot01_bootstrap.py", line 20, in <module>
', ' File]

The full 3rd error

For troubleshooting purposes I also compiled it in a windowless mode to get the command prompt output and hopefully shed some light and this issue and in one line I found this gem:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file ot directory: 'filefinder.kv'

So it has something to do with my ".kv" file. The problem is, I don't know what! I have read the docs on what to do when things go wrong but it didn't help me. So I am asking for your help. I am happy to provide any information you may need.

Additional info: Python: 3.9.1 System: Windows 10 Pro Kivy: 2.0.0 Pyinstaller: Latest 5.0 (experimental) I have tried the stable version but got the same results

Cheers!
