MacOS Catalina and shiny issue

...I just updated MacOS Catalina (10.15.2) but I have some problem with shiny. I have developed an application with fileInput function to to select and upload txt file. When I run my app with Run-Ann box and I try to upload my file, shiny and R stop to work and I must force RStudio shutdown. I try to reproduce the sample example https://shiny.rstudio.com/reference/shiny/latest/fileInput.html and it doesn't work. However, if I run External, in brower crome for example, it works. I have granted access to folder RStudio in my System Preferences -> Security & Privacy but it doesn't work for me. Can anybody give an idea? Could it be related to xquartz ? Thank you

I have the exact same issue with the sample example, I need to force quit Rstudio unless I run the app externally in a browser.

Do you have find any solution? I still don't.

Have you given RStudio full disk permissions in the Catalina System Preferences? You're likely seeing the same issue that is resolved by this solution: R studio stopped working when updated macOS Catalina.


Yes! It doesn't work for me I still have issue

Sorry, I read your post too quickly and missed where you said that. I may have also given the R binary full disk access, but I'm not at my home laptop right now to double check. Can you share the results of devtools::session_info() so we know which versions of shiny and other packages you are using? Can you also share the RStudio version number (Help > About RStudio)?

Thank you! Your help is very welcome. I share below devtools::session_info(), shiny version and RStudio version.

RStudio version number = Version 1.1.419

The only thing that jumps out at me is that your version of RStudio is a few years old. You have 1.1.419 and the latest version is 1.2.5033. There are a few things that have changed since then, and your issue might be resolved by upgrading RStudio.
