Conda includes an outdated package of RStudio. The best solution is to download RStudio Desktop from

https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/

Install in in the Applications folder, and then create a simple shell script in anaconda/minconda bin folder that opens the executable in the RStudio app package.

For example:

echo "/Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/RStudio" >> /Users/user/anaconda3/envs/renv/bin/rstudio
chmod +x /Users/user/anaconda3/envs/renv/bin/rstudio

Replace anaconda3 with miniconda3 in case of using Miniconda instead of Anaconda.
