Hello! I would like to create an app that would promt a user to select a file from thier computer and then run code that I have already created. I know I need to use app designer but I do not understand which component to select to prompt the user to select and file and then on the back end how to apply my function. Any help is appreciated!

You can use any action UI control button in app designer, suppose mostly used one is push button. In the respective UI control call back write your code as
[flname, pt] = uigetfile('*.m', 'Select the m file');
run([pt, flname])

Note: it would be better to use
run(fullfile(pt, flname))
uigetfile does not promise that the path will end in a directory separator.
