Tap trigger interrupted by hover

Hello,

I have Component A which enlarges and unhides a related Component A' upon Hovering.  These components are Grouped.  The desired outcome is for the user to tap on either A or A' to trigger an action to transition to another artboard.  This works flawlessly in Preview.  However, when I publish the Prototype, tapping on A simply resets the group to the Default State, and replays the animation to Hover state.  (Tapping on A' does work as intended.)

Based on reading other questions and watching some videos, I have tried the following:

1. Changing the Hover Action Easing to "none" - No change in behavior. 
2. Adding a "Tap" state to the Group which triggers a new transition to the desired artboard - No change in behavior.
3. Adding a tap interaction to A in Default State to trigger a new transition to the desired artboard - No change in behavior.
4. Adding a new component (rectangle with no fill) on top of A with a tap interaction to trigger a new transition to the desired artboard - Initially, this appeard to work, but I could not replicate it on other components - perhaps it is interfering with what I tried in (2)?  Either way, this is not a very elegant work-around and I have to believe there is a better way.

I am new to XD, so I'm sure there's something simple that I am missing.  I appreciate your help!
