No shiny examples will run!

Problems can't get more basic than this. I have updated RStudio, R and all the packages have been updated with the new R version. Here is my problem:

library(shiny)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘shiny’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called ‘later’
runExample("01_hello")
Error in runExample("01_hello") : could not find function "runExample"
sessionInfo()
R version 3.5.0 (2018-04-23)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
Running under: Windows >= 8 x64 (build 9200)

attached base packages:

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):

[13] xfun_0.1 yaml_2.1.19 compiler_3.5.0 htmltools_0.3.6 knitr_1.20

...

Seems crazy to me. Any suggestions or help will be very gratefully received.
Cheers.

Do you have the dev version of Shiny installed? The later package is here:

Install with

remotes::install_github("r-lib/later")

Thanks, Cole. You prompted me to try installing Shiny from github, which solved the problem anyway.
Thanks for taking the time to offer a suggestion.
Cheers

If your question's been answered, would you mind choosing a solution? (see FAQ below for how) It makes it a bit easier to visually navigate the site and see which questions still need help.

Thanks
