A huge thank you to everyone's help here! The Itunes restore is what did it.

iPad mini 4 - not connecting- NOW SOLVED :-)
Apparently he knew putting the Ipad in Recovery mode and letting Itunes download and reinstall the IOS did way more than just doing a Reset and reloading the app.
After I did the Recovery it saw my latest backup from 4/4 and I applied that. Not only did I get my DJI GO app working now but my 32 channel hack is back as well!.
Soo relieved to have everything up to date and working again. Not to mention what a learning experience!.
Thank you so much for the support guys!. I can't say enough about how awesome this community is!.
