Can't install sodium package on shinyapps.io

[Jeremy Darot]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy a shiny app that uses the sodium package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sodium/).

The app works works fine locally, but when using the deployApp() function, the installation of the sodium package on shinyapps.io fails, and I get the log below.

Could you please have a look?

Thanks,
Jeremy

I have just added a package support request at https://github.com/rstudio/shinyapps-package-dependencies/issues/37.

Cheers,
