Problem with Deployment to the shiny server.

I have been trying to update an already deployed app and also published a new one but I am having issues. I have tried to update R and the packages but no success. I am still not able to update or publish a new app. What can be the cause. Below is the message I get when I tried to deploy.

"RETICULATE_PYTHON_FALLBACK unset (no Python installation found)

How can I solve this and public my new app?
Thank you.

I'm having the same problem with an app that isn't already deployed, so whatever the issue is I don't think it's that. Following in case we both get an answer.

I had the same issue. Not sure how to fix it, but as a workaround I copied the deploy command, changed logLevel from "verbose" to "quiet", and then ran it in the console. This worked for me and since the error comes from the logging it shouldn't affect the deployed app
