Error installing all R packages: "file not a macOS binary package"

RStudio IDE

I am having repeated errors when trying to install all packages in the new RStudio. I have tried on Mac Monterey and Ventura, and with old and new versions of RStudio.

The packages do install in base R, so I know this is an RStudio problem.

This is the most stubborn error I've ever encountered. Have spent the better part of 2 days trying to install any package on RStudio.

ERROR MESSAGE:
