I googled around for AppKit and ScriptingBrigde and from what i find it seems like they are mac-specific tools?

thanks for all your great work!

Your system is detected as macOS, I am not sure why.

[david-jankoski]

I just double checked on a win10 machine - same results unfortunately

CAn you try installing the last CRAN version? https://cran.rstudio.com/src/contrib/Archive/notifier/

[david-jankoski]

Yes, using devtools::install_version("notifier",version="1.0.0") it installed and works properly.
Thank you for your help!

Can I just note here that running the install script from a current Arch Linux system also causes it to be detected as a Mac, and fail. The command above does work, though. I don't think the issue should be closed!

Same issue on Ubuntu 20.04
