I was pushing my backend app into heroku and the terminal stated that the build was successful, but when I opened the app on heroku, I got an Application Error. I didn't know why I got the error so I checked the logs to see what went wrong and I got this error
npm ERR! missing script: start
I looked into my package.json file to see if I was missing the script which I did so I added it, saved it, and tried again. But I got the same error again.

I don't know what the problem is now cause I added the script but I keep getting the same error.
Here's my package.json for proof
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"start": "react-scripts start"
},
