Dear all, we recently observed a similar behavior due to a bug in the remotes package which has been fixed in the github version of the package:
https://github.com/r-lib/remotes/commit/d3a6766c0bcb456b82a0b06608f6149 fe4f5d83e essentially, internally, somewhere, it would do something like: if (identical(type, "both")) { type <- "binary" } which makes annotation packages install fail on Mac (Windows as well I think). The fix for this is in the github version of remotes but not on CRAN.
