Hi there I am hoping that someone on the forum here can help me. I am trying to deploy a flexdashboard app via Shinny Apps everything is going until I get this error.
Error: Unhandled Exception: Child Task 1318228447 failed: Error building image: Error fetching rstan (2.26.22) source. unable to satisfy package: rstan (2.26.22).
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
The latest version of rstan on CRAN is 2.21.8 (cf. CRAN - Package rstan)
rstan 2.26.22 is only available on a bespoke repository outside of CRAN.
Did you - prior to publishing - set the repos so that at least one points to the stan repo as referenced in Repository for distributing (some) stan-dev R packages | r-packages, i.e.
repos <- c(Stan = "https://mc-stan.org/r-packages/", CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org")
options(repos = repos)
Thanks for the quick response I actually went ahead removed that version of "rstan' and installed the version from Cran but now I have a different problem, no matter what I do whenever I try to deploy the app, it keeps timing out. It is stuck on trying install rstan.

Ahh right, you now indeed are hit with the next problem. shinyapps.io is trying to build rstan from source. To put it mildly, this is a fairly resource intensive process (Compiling C++ code always eats lots of resources).
Posit however provided pre-compiled binary versions of R packages. In order to use those you could set - prior to deploying again - the default CRAN repository to
options(repos=c(CRAN="https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/__linux__/focal/latest"))
library(rsconnect)
deployApp()
Kindly let me know if this fixes your deployment issue.
