ABI function calls with output type "string" Decode (MatchError)

[willjleong]

I'm trying to call an abi's :symbol method in an erc721 smartcontract but get an error whenever I call a method that returns and abi function output with "string" type. Methods that return address or uint256 work fine... Is this an issue with exw3 or ex_abi? I noticed that this repo doesn't test for smart-contracts calls that have return outputs of "string"

This issues is occurring on this line when the output decoded type is "string" https://github.com/hswick/exw3/blob/master/lib/exw3/abi.ex#L49

I'm seeing similar errors. I'm under the impression it's a problem with ex_abi?
