What have you answered to this question?
Notice that you also need the dev versions of rlang and vctrs so they have to be installed from GitHub.

Hi all,
I confirm the issue. I was able to install the dev version of rlang package, but such version doesn't work with pkgload package.

> packageVersion("rlang")
[1] ‘0.3.4.9003’

> devtools::install_github("r-lib/vctrs")
Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'pkgload', details:
  call: is_string(x)
  error: object 'rlang_is_string' not found

Thanks,
Domi

I solved the issue by manually deleting the rlang folder(s). There were two, one called rlang, the other something like lockrlang. Afterwards I reinstalled rlang dev and the issue was solved.
