r-app has disappeared from homebrew, you can no longer brew cask install r-app
are there any alternatives or ways to install the cask now? I would prefer to install the r-app cask if possible.

I figured out all the cask does is install the latest R .pkg file, so doing that manually achieves the same result.
Side note: There was a recent R update to 3.5.3 which might be the reason why the cask is removed for the time being.

Installing only the GUI from package won't work though. The whole package needs to be installed, including R binaries. Which kind of renders the entire homebrew install of R useless. It seems like R needs to be installed via the official package now, for anyone using the GUI. – altabq – 2019-06-18T09:40:27.127

The cask was renamed to just r rather than r-app
`brew cask install r`
