Hi, Niki Macomber:

For something like this that's ultimately a test involving a variety of things involving your app, please create a Github repo of the current state of your app associated with this problem.

That's the best way for me and others to help you solve this particular problem. It'll also help us give you the advice you need to avoid dealing with this problem in the future.
