shinyapps package has been replaced by rsconnect which can be simply installed through CRAN in the regular way.

I think you have another choice. Please download the package from https://github.com/hadley/rstudio/shinyapps/archive/master.zip to your local computer. Then install the package by call install_local(). For example, install_local("~/Downloads/shinyapps-master.zip"). shinyapps-master.zip is the shinyapps package, and ~/Downloads/ is the path.

Please have a look at the parameter list of install_github. Your call should be

install_github( repo = "shinyapps", username="rstudio" )

At least for devtools prior to version 1.4.1: https://github.com/hadley/devtools/blob/master/NEWS.md
