In App Designer, the TabGroup callbacks are no longer defined when i restart matlab. Why?

Hi, I'm designing a simple app. It's got two Tab Groups, each with two tabs. Each tab has a drop down menu. When I change the selected tab, I want to save the title of the new tab in a Matlab preference. Here is example code for a single 'SelectionChangedFcn' callback, the second Tab Group would have an analogous one.
function TabGroupSelectionChanged(app)
selectedTab = app.TabGroup.SelectedTab;
setpref('GUIstatus','prop',selectedTab.Title)
switch selectedTab.Title
case 'PropValue1'
value = app.DropDown.Value;
setpref('GUIstatus','Subprop',value)
case 'PropValue2'
value = app.DropDown2.Value;
setpref('GUIstatus','Subprop',value)
end
end
I created this callback by right clicking on the Tab Group in the component browser, and clicking Callbacks. This worked, the callback executed when I ran the app and clicked on the Tab. When I restarted Matlab, it no longer worked. The callback function still existed in the code, but the Tab Group component no longer had a callback property. When I tried to enter the name of the function 'TabGroupSelectionChanged' as the callback, a dialogue window came up with the following code: 'Name is already defined as an App Callback.' The solution was to create new callback functions and delete the old ones, but as soon as I restarted Matlab, the same problem occured.
Any ideas on how to get the callbacks to stick? Thanks a ton.

You need to put the .mlapp file either in the current folder or on the MATLAB search path. Please refer to the following documentation links as instructions:
