If I understand correctly, I cannot use drip as I have only the iPhone and the Tandem T:slim pump.  
I think I will try to reset the transmitter again when my current session ends.  
I will delete all the downloads for Xcode and the Reset Transmitter code and the Reset App and the Dexcom App and start fresh. I actually have my sisters old iPhone at my Mexico house so maybe I’ll do it on that phone to eliminate any prior iPhone stuff. Maybe that will work. What do you think?

Not common, but this is what worked for me to reset transmitter days for G6, 80xx transmitter. I bought a cheap android phone, that I don’t get phone service for. I loaded xDrip on that. (I have a small cell non-smart phone for calls/texts).  
Using cheap android phone with xdrip, I was able to do reset transmitter. (But also play cool games on it with wifi service!)

I have only done this on 80xx transmitter so far.

I try to use term reset days for transmitter, and restart sensor to keep things straight.
