Error: Unhandled Exceptions when trying to deploy / (re)publish ShinyApps.io

I have a shiny app that depends on a GitHub package. I recently updated the GitHub package, so I want to republish the shiny app as well. I have made no changes to the shiny app code at all, and it runs without error in RStudio. But, when I go to republish it, I get these messages in the Deploy tab of RStudio.

I am running the latest versions of R (3.2.5) and RStudio (0.99.893) on Windows 7, and I made sure all the packages have been updated.

I searched around for folks reporting similar errors (and solutions) and found didn't find anything helpful.

I'd appreciate any tips.

Did you update to R 3.2.5? It seems shinyapps.io is not ready for this.

I had these errors yesterday. Roll back to 3.2.4 and it will work.

Note this is confirmed in shinyapps forum:

"Is it at all possible that you are running with R version 3.2.5? If so, downgrading to 3.2.4 should fix this issue. The error message should be saying something like: shinyapps.io doesn't support this version of R yet."
