Google Analytics Measurement Protocol Hit not correct?

Question

I'm attempting to send hit payloads as part of a POST for the Google Analytics Measurement Protocol for my iOS android app.

Here's a hit I'm sending for session control:

&dp=scenes%2Estudio%2EScene&geoid=TESTING&z=818790&sr=480x270&ul=en&sc=start&ds=simulator&dl=scenes%2Estudio%2EScene&dr=iOS&tid=UA%2Dxxxxxxx%2D1&ti=TESTING&cid=TESTING&aip=1&an=FE&cd=scenes%2Estudio%2EScene&aid=xxx%2Eyyyy%2Ezzz%2E&v=1&av=16%2E5%2E2

And here's a hit I'm sending for an exception event:

&dp=scenes%2Emenu%2EScene&geoid=TESTING&z=217660&sr=480x270&ul=en&exf=1&ds=simulator&dl=scenes%2Emenu%2EScene&dr=iOS&aid=xxx%2Eyyy%2Ezzz%2E&ti=TESTING&cid=TESTING&tid=UA%2D117928712%2D1&exd=%2FUsers%2Fchomsky%2Fapps%2Ffunbox%2Fapps%2Fxxx%2Flib%2Fscamp%2Fdebug%2FmenuButtons%2FFE%2Elua%3A147%3A+822Error&aip=1&an=FE&cd=scenes%2Emenu%2EScene&v=1&av=16%2E5%2E2&t=exception

I've checked both with the hit validator (https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/hit-builder/), and it says they're valid, (although I've altered these slightly so it doesn't contain my personal information, hence the x's, y's, and z's.

When I send it to https://www.google-analytics.com/debug/collect, it gives me back this message:

                      bytesEstimated=-1,

                      } ]\

                    ",
                      responseHeaders={

                        ["Content-Type"]="application/javascript; charset=utf-8",
                        Date="Wed, 25 Apr 2018 09:38:44 GMT",
                        Server="MPVS",
                        ["Transfer-Encoding"]="Identity",
                        ["X-Content-Type-Options"]="nosniff",
                        ["X-Frame-Options"]="SAMEORIGIN",
                        ["X-XSS-Protection"]="1; mode=block" 
                      },
                      responseType="text",
                      status=200,
                      url="https://www.google-analytics.com/debug/collect" 
                    }

It looks to me like it came back 200 with no problems.

However, when I send this same hit to https://www.google-analytics.com/collect, so I can see it in the Analytics website's console, I don't see the request appear. It says that there is a user on my app right now (it's me!) but I can't see any of the exceptions or session control events I'm sending -- it shows no events of any kind received today. Is there a reason why this would be happening? Am I missing something in my hit, or do I not know where to look?
