I want to create a new folder in a standalone app and was wondering if mkdir would still work or not.

I am able to reproduce what you are seeing. In the process, I've learned a couple things. First, the answer.
Symbolic functions (syms for example) cannot be compiled into standalone applications. See this answer post.
I did find how to get error messages from a standalone application. There is a setting at the bottom of the app creation window that allows you to create a log file. Expand the "Additional runtime settings" option and select "Create log file".
Doing so with your app captured the following errors:
Undefined function 'syms' for input arguments of type 'char'.Error in main/dipole (line 112)Error in main/PlotDataButton_3Pushed (line 590)Error in appdesigner.internal.service.AppManagementService/tryCallback (line 330)Error in matlab.apps.AppBase>@(source,event)tryCallback(appdesigner.internal.service.AppManagementService.instance(),app,callback,requiresEventData,event)Error using matlab.ui.control.internal.controller.ComponentController/executeUserCallback (line 335)Error while evaluating Button PrivateButtonPushedFcn.This is how I got to looking into how to include symbolic functions in a standalone application, which led me to Steve Lord's reply (linked above)
