Why does my widget look ok in android studio but broken on the phone?

Question

I have a layout file that I think looks ok, and it looks as I expect in the preview in android studio:

However, when I deploy on the phone, the entire layout is totally broken, and in addition, you can see that the image is flipped around! :

This is not anything I've seen before, and if someone could look at my layout and point out something I've done wrong that would be great. Am I using some non-supported layout types, or something else?

layout xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!-- Container for Top Banner and Content -->
<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical">

    <!-- Top Banner - 25% -->
    <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/top_banner"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="2"
            android:background="@drawable/statuswidget_gradient_checked_in"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:gravity="center">

        <!-- Logo -->
        <ImageView

            android:gravity="center">

        <!-- RelativeLayout for Text Alignment -->
        <RelativeLayout

                    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                    android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
                    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

                    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
                    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                    style="@style/widgetLocation" />

            <!-- Time -->
            <TextView
                    android:id="@+id/time_text"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:text="Today, 10:40"
                    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
                    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
                    style="@style/widgetTime" />
        </RelativeLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Edit, provider:

 private fun updateWidget(context: Context, appWidgetManager: AppWidgetManager, appWidgetId: Int) {

    val views = RemoteViews(context.packageName, R.layout.widget_userstatus)
    views.setTextViewText(R.id.statusText, "BANANA")
    views.setTextViewText(R.id.locationText, "ORANGE")

    // Set up click handler to open the app
    val intent = Intent(context, NubaMainTabActivity::class.java) // Replace with your target activity
    val pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(
        context,
        0,
        intent,
        PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT or PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE
    )
    views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.mywidget, pendingIntent) 

    // Push update to the widget
    appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views)
}
