Potential bug in Android app - Create from scratch flow

OK, operator error once again is to blame. 

My router public key in the config had a single digit missing. 

The really odd part is that I can't understand how that happened, as I copy/pasted the router public key from an existing config (that still works and has the full correct key) because there was no way I was going to type out something that long/difficult. I do have problems with my mousepad on my computer sometimes jumping the cursor around when my palm hits it and sometimes messing up what I’m doing, but no idea how that could account for removing a letter and not leaving a space. 

But egg on my face is egg on my face, what can I say. 

Bowing and backing away in shame. 

Thanks for the suggestion to export/compare, that was what allowed me to see the issue clearly.

Don't use the same config from two devices. One device :: one private key.

Create it manually, and then export it to a zip. Look in the zip and see if there's any difference between that file and the one you imported from the windows app.
