Hi Naresh,
the README you linked to points you to the r2u-project
(https://github.com/eddelbuettel/r2u), which has setup scripts & instructions
for how to setup binaries for CRAN packages and most recent R version on
Ubuntu, including on 26.04 in the new format. Here is the script for 26.04 LTS:
https://github.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/blob/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_resolute.sh,
all instructions worked fine on my machines running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
All the best,
Lennart
