Does Shiny Server require apps to be split into ui.R and server.R?

Sorry if this is already mentioned in documentation somewhere, I have read some of the admin guide but saw no mention of this

Have a look at this resources, to see how to create one for a shiny app

Often those shiny logs and tracebacks are useful to others trying to help out. Second, strive to minimize the effort required to replicate your issue. You can do this with a reproducible example ("reprex"). Shiny Debugging Errors in Shiny code can be difficult to track down. If you don't know where your problem is coming from, you can track it down with some o…
