Trouble Using a Java Spring Boot Project as a GitHub Package Dependency

Question

I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

I'm trying to save a project as a GitHub package so that I can use it as a dependency in another Java project.

The project I'm working on is a Spring Boot project, and I suspect that the issue I'm facing might be specific to Spring Boot.

1. I run mvn clean deploy, which successfully creates the package in the remote GitHub Repo.
2. Then, I run mvn clean install on the project that needs to reference the code, using the updated POM below.
3. My .m2/settings.xml is configured as follows:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

  <activeProfiles>
    <activeProfile>github</activeProfile>
  </activeProfiles>

  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>github</id>
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>central</id>
          <url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
        </repository>
        <repository>
          <id>github</id>
          <url>https://maven.pkg.github.com/Owner/pName</url>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
          </snapshots>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
    </profile>
  </profiles>

  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>github</id>
      <username>userName</username>
      <password>password</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

4. Here is the pom for the project to be referenced:

        </dependency>

    </dependencies>

</project>

Issue: Despite my efforts, when I run mvn install, nothing installs, even after forcing it with mvn clean install -U. This process seems to work fine with other non-Spring projects.

Is there something different I need to do to make this work with a Spring Boot app? Is it possible?
