I typically publish my app the standard way:

enter image description here

The first time I publish, I get this URL:

 https://peveralldubois.shinyapps.io/myapp/

But the second and third time I republish I get this:

https://peveralldubois.shinyapps.io/myapp2/
https://peveralldubois.shinyapps.io/myapp3/

This happen, even after I delete the app in Shinyapp.io dashboard or Create New Titlein RStudio.

How can I prevent it so that it permanently use?

https://peveralldubois.shinyapps.io/myapp/

If you are publishing a R markdown document, I believe you want to update to the latest version of Rstudio which will give you the ability to publish to RPubs (https://rpubs.com/).

When you are publishing an updated Shiny app to shinyapps.io, the Publish UI should show an "update" option instead of the input box to put in a new title.

  • I'm using RMarkdown with Runtime:Shiny. I tried your suggestion with "Update" option. It still can't bring me to original `https://peveralldubois.shinyapps.io/myapp/` even after I delete all the app in Shinyapp.io dashboard – neversaint May 27 '17 at 13:39
  • I was able to reproduce your behavior one time then it worked for me every time after - I am wondering if this is a Rstudio bug. Does anything change if you exit and reopen Rstudio, click down arrow next to publish icon, select myapp, and then publish? – Jay Silverman May 27 '17 at 15:05
  • Also, try publishing using the console with verbose logging. For example: `library(rsconnect)` `deployApp(appFiles="test.Rmd", appName="myapp", logLevel="verbose")` and sharing the log here. – Jay Silverman May 27 '17 at 15:10
  • @neversaint did you ever figure this out? I had never run into this issue before but now am. – Jeff Coughlin Apr 06 '18 at 21:11
