Issues with packages after updating to R 3.5.0

Ahh, yes. I managed to install from github fine (not getting this error anymore) when I next tried - a day or two after my last comment above. I am guessing @Anantadinath was correct - it was something problem in ggplot/tidyverse and they fixed it...?

I have the same issue. I upgraded rlang to 0.2.0.9001, but when I try to deploy my app I get:

Preparing to deploy document...DONE
Uploading bundle for document: 350859...DONE

update packages using the following command:

update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE, ask=FALSE)

For why checkBuilt, refer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8828334/updating-packages-in-r-impact-of-checkbuilt-true-or-false

As a Mac user (Sierra, 10.13.4) I also had issues reinstalling some of the packages (stringi, data.table, ggplot2) after the upgrade to R 3.5. Installing "xcode" solved my problem:

  1. Plug in your charger, otherwise the install window might not pop up.
  2. type the magic words to your terminal: xcode-select --install
  3. follow the installation process (it takes about 2-10 minutes).
  4. now package installation via install.packages() should work

Did this ever get resolved? I just updated my Shiny app, and it will run using it locally with runApp, but the packages will not install using the rocker/shiny base image when trying to build it into a Docker container.
