See this thread on the R-SIG-Mac list: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2020-June/013575.html
and her for a solution (sequel of above): https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2020-July/013641.html
Go to https://mac.r-project.org/ and get the latest revision of the R GUI which is noe https://mac.r-project.org/high-sierra/R-4.0-branch/R-GUI-7884-4.0-high-sierra-Release.dmg
I have revision 7849; if the above does not work I can mail you the dmg of revision 7849.
