[R-sig-Geo] Package lwgeom (0.2-4) fails to install on Shinyapps.io with an "upgrade GEOS to 3.6.0 or later" error

[Ista Zahn]

The documentation at
https://docs.rstudio.com/shinyapps.io/getting-started.html#deploying-applications
will help you figure it out. From a quick glance it seems you can
either downgrade your local version of lwgeom or work to get the
system dependencies installed as instructed at
https://docs.rstudio.com/shinyapps.io/getting-started.html#system-packages

Best,
Ista
