Errors running surveys

[isaactpetersen]

Thank you very much for your development of this package. I tried to clone the repo to implement the example surveys you developed and am running into a few errors:

When I try to run the audience_costs app, I receive the following error after answering a few questions:

> shiny::runApp('audience_costs')

It appears that it is looking for the file 'droptoken.rds', but it does not exist in the repo. I receive a similar error in the media_bias app:

> runApp('media_bias')

Thanks for pointing these out! I'm not actively maintaining this repo, but if there are particular applications you'd like to get up and running, I am happy to help out.

-Regarding droptoken.rds, this is an object that you'll create on your own such that the results from the Shiny survey are automatically uploaded to your Dropbox folder.

-Regarding the shinyjqui issue, I'm not so sure what to tell you here: the CRAN link to that seems dead (https://rdrr.io/cran/shinyjqui/src/R/includeJqueryUI.R). My guess is that function has been deprecated and there is a new one.

-Regarding the info_battery error, it looks like the new version of catsurv changed some things.

-Regarding the rollcall_lookup error, that is from the ggmap library -- I've just made some changes to make that clearer.
