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

[Mohammed_Saad]

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:

• R visuals support is limited to the packages identified in Learn which R packages are supported. There currently is no support for custom packages.

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.
