Arguments

app_name

The name of the app. It will be displayed throughout the installer's window titles, wizard pages, and dialog boxes. See [Setup]:AppName for details. For continuous installations, app_name is used to check for an R package of the same name, and update it. The Continuous Installation vignette has more details.
app_dir

Development app's directory, defaults to getwd().
pkgs

Character vector of package dependencies. Remote development versions are supported via remotes. pkgs are downloaded into file.path(app_dir, pkgs_path) as Windows binary packages (.zip). If you build binary packages and store them there before calling create_app, they will be included as well.
pkgs_path

Default location inside the app working directory to install package dependencies This defaults to pkgs_path = "bin"
remotes

Character vector of GitHub repository addresses in the format username/repo[/subdir][\@ref|#pull] for GitHub package dependencies.
repo

Default repository to install CRAN package dependencies. Defaults to repo = "https://cran.rstudio.com".
error_log

Name of error logging file. Contains start up errors from run.R.
app_repo_url

Repository address for continuous installations in the format "https://bitbucket.org/username/repo" (repo = app_name). Only Bitbucket and GitHub repositories are supported.
auth_user

Bitbucket username. It is recommended to create a read-only account for each app. Support for OAuth 2 and tokens is in the works.
auth_pw

Bitbucket password matching the above username.
auth_token

To install from a private Github repo, generate a personal access token (PAT) in https://github.com/settings/tokens and supply to this argument. This is safer than using a password because you can easily delete a PAT without affecting any others.
user_browser

Character for the default browser. Options include "chrome", "firefox", and "ie."

Value

A json file, config.cfg, in app_dir/utils.
