How to solve Error when trying to deploy shiny app or flexdashboard on shinyapps.io?

Question

I get the following Error message, when trying to publish even the shiny tutorial example "Hello Shiny" from here to my shinyapps.io account:

Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, "config_url", value = "https://www.shinyapps.io/admin/#/application/") : replacement has 1 row, data has 0

The code in the app.R file looks like this:

library(shiny)

ui <- fluidPage(

  titlePanel("Hello Shiny!"),

  sidebarLayout(

    sidebarPanel(

      sliderInput(inputId = "bins",
                  label = "Number of bins:",
                  min = 1,
                  max = 50,
                  value = 30)

    ),

    mainPanel(

      plotOutput(outputId = "distPlot")

    )
  )
)

server <- function(input, output) {

  output$distPlot <- renderPlot({

    x    <- faithful$waiting
    bins <- seq(min(x), max(x), length.out = input$bins + 1)

    hist(x, breaks = bins, col = "#75AADB", border = "white",
         xlab = "Waiting time to next eruption (in mins)",
         main = "Histogram of waiting times")

  })

}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

Additional information:

Locally it works fine
I am behind a proxy and therefore I already followed these instructions
I am using Windows 10
the packages shiny, rsconnect and rmarkdown are up to date
the same error occurs when trying a flexdashboard with shiny runtime

Try explicitly loading the dataset attach(faithful)

library(shiny)
attach(faithful)

ui <- fluidPage(

    titlePanel("Hello Shiny!"),

    sidebarLayout(

        sidebarPanel(

            sliderInput(inputId = "bins",
                        label = "Number of bins:",
                        min = 1,
                        max = 50,
                        value = 30)

        ),

        mainPanel(

            plotOutput(outputId = "distPlot")

        )
    )
)

server <- function(input, output) {

    output$distPlot <- renderPlot({
        x    <- faithful$waiting
        bins <- seq(min(x), max(x), length.out = input$bins + 1)

        hist(x, breaks = bins, col = "#75AADB", border = "white",
             xlab = "Waiting time to next eruption (in mins)",
             main = "Histogram of waiting times")

    })

}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
