Aarthi Ramakrishnan

Following are the commands you would require to deploy your shiny app successfully onto https://shinyapps.io/ for the whole world to use -

rsconnect::setAccountInfo(name='<your username>', 
				token='<your token>', 
				secret='<your secret token>')

Information for the above fields can be obtained from this link once you login to your account on shinyapps.io.

Next, to avoid the following error -

Error: Unhandled Exception: Child Task XXX failed: Error parsing manifest: Unable to determine package source for Bioconductor package AnnotationDbi: Repository must be specified

make sure that the package source for Bioconductor packages is set correctly -

library(BiocManager)
options(repos = BiocManager::repositories())

Finally, execute the following command -

rsconnect::deployApp()

You should now be able to deploy your app successfully.
