PowerBI R custom visual not loading on service but loading on desktop

Mohammed_Saad_0-1635072499138.png

I created a custom visual through pbiviz package from a script based on R. The visual was working fine on PowerBI Desktop, but after publishing to service, it was getting stuck on this infinite loading loop. This problem wasn't there before, and all of a sudden shows up today.

Hi, @Mohammed_Saad ;

Here is the R visual's limit , you could check it.

R visuals require a Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license to render in reports, refresh, filter, and cross-filter. 

The following table describes R visuals capabilities based on licensing.

LICENSING
  Author R visuals in Power BI Desktop Create PBI service reports with R visuals View R visuals in reports View R tiles in dashboards
Guest (Power BI embedded) Supported Not supported Supported in Premium/Azure capacity only Supported in Premium/Azure capacity only
Unmanaged tenant (domain not verified) Supported Not supported Not supported Supported (B2B scenario)
Managed tenant with free license Supported Not supported Supported in Premium capacity only Supported
Managed tenant with Pro or PPU license Supported Supported Supported Supported

R visuals in the Power BI service have a few limitations:

Hi @Mohammed_Saad 

 

These things can happen from time to time when there are changes in the Power BI Service.

I wonder if anyone else has faced this issue

Yes, I am running in this situation, I have three PowerBI Customer Visuals, one uses only TypeScript and the other two are useing TypeScript and R. All three visuals are working into PowerBI Service but the two visuals which using R are not able to render into PowerBI Embedded. Currently testing with A1.
