Storyboard References Causing Black Screen?

Hey all,

I'm relatively new to iOS Development, (been doing it for just under a year now!), and I've learned a lot of new things in this process. I'm currently working on an app for a class I'm taking, and I've sort of felt like I've exhausted all resources possible, but then I remembered about these apple developer forums.

I'm reaching out over an issue I'm currently facing when using storyboard references. To my understanding, these storyboard references are used to literally reference other storyboard files, and create less of a complicated mess of a web of segues and connections from view controller to view controller, which is a really nice thing to have.

On one screen of my app, I have a button that should trigger a segue to a storyboard reference. I've double checked the name of the storyboard and view controller its supposed to be connected to every time, and it compiles and builds perfectly fine (minus a few warnings, but nothing that I would classify as a compile-time error preventing me from running the app). However, the error still persists.

I guess I haven't really even said what the error is, so let me clarify that; the error stems from when I click the button, it seems like it does a transition, and the storyboard picks it up, yet on both a simulator and a physical device, it results in a white navigation bar followed by a black screen where all the other UI elements should be. I have a screen recording, but it seems like I can't upload that or link to something like streamable or YouTube, so that would be problematic. If anyone knows of a workaround to include a video link, that would be awesome.

Again, thanks for your help in advance!
