When I use R-visuals in PowerBI, everything works well in the desktop version. When I publish to the service however, I notice many important packages are missing or horribly outdated.
Most notably ggplot2 is still on v3.3.3 as per your resources. The Theme() function is included in ggplot2 3.5. Many basic improvements to my visuals cannot be applied. Please upgrade this..
In general, time and time again, I find myself working in PBI desktop doing everything that's needed to build a good report with R visuals, to then find out it doesn't work in the PBI service. I then have to look for alternatives and rewire my code which is a big waste of time. It would be great if packages could be updated regularly.

RE: R visuals in Power BI
Small correction, it appears that theme() is available. The script runtime error occured in the service due to the theme() parameter:panel.grid.major = element_line(linewidth = 1),Still it is frustrating that these issues occur, It would help a lot if the packages are kept up-to-date
