' The cancer type is not available for this platform.' error using tcgaR package to download DNA methylation data

Question

[mohamedrefaat.1.1992]

I'm trying to use tcgaR package to download methyaltion data from TCGA. Unfortunately every time I use the getTCGA() function it throws this error:

Error in .getTCGA.meth(cancer = cancer, platform = platform, verbose = verbose, : The cancer type is not available for this platform.

I checked the package documentation and all the instructions seemed straight forward and I didn't find anyway to fix this problem. Can anyone help me fixing this problem, please?

I've just found that the package is deprecated!.
