Shinydashboard: 'restoreInput' is not an exported object from 'namespace:shiny'

Question

I am using RStudio to create a new Shiny app. I copy and paste the code sample from https://rdrr.io/cran/shinydashboard/man/renderValueBox.html into the app.R. I receive this error:

Warning: Error in : 'restoreInput' is not an exported object from 'namespace:shiny'
Stack trace (innermost first):
    45: getExportedValue
    44: ::
    43: dashboardSidebar
    42: inherits
    41: tagAssert
    40: dashboardPage
     1: runApp
Error : 'restoreInput' is not an exported object from 'namespace:shiny'

Here is my sessionInfo() output:

UPDATE: 1) I tried the sample from a different machine and produced the same error. 2) I also took a shinydashboard skeleton app and reproduced this error.

I ran the code and it worked. My R version is 3.4.0. shinydashboard_0.6.1, and shiny_1.0.3. — www
Did you run the Example code that starts if (interactive()) {? It worked for me too. Not sure why you're getting an error... — CPak
I ran update.packages() and the newer versions of shiny and shinydashboard work. Thanks! — Andrew Borst

Ran update.packages() and newer versions didn't have this issue.
