I have a shiny app that runs both locally and on Posit Connect, however the download button (which calls an .rmd file) only works locally on my machine and throws an error about a missing LaTeX file iftex.sty on the posit connect instance:
2024/02/06 11:39:28 AM: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013) 2024/02/06 11:39:28 AM: restricted \write18 enabled. 2024/02/06 11:39:28 AM: entering extended mode 2024/02/06 11:39:28 AM: ! LaTeX Error: File iftex.sty' not found.

If I manually add the iftex.sty file from my local machine to the list of uploads to Posit Connect, the instance then throws an error about another tex file:
! Package ifluatex Error: Name clash, \ifluatex is already defined.
I have tried updating iftex through tlmgr, but the latest version is already installed. I have installed the latest version of R(4.3.2), R Studio (2023.12.1), and have updated all of my R packages. I am using the latest version of tinytex as my LaTeX interpreter and have followed the debugging guidelines outlined there.
R Studio output (works)

Any suggestions would be most appreciated
