Can I use MATLAB Compiler to create a standalone app for controlling a Simulink Real-Time application in R2020b and later?

I migrated to MATLAB R2020b. I created an App Designer instrument panel app to control my real-time application running on a Speedgoat machine, similar to the following:

However, when I deploy this app to a standalone executable using MATLAB Compiler and try to execute this standalone GUI, I get the following error:

Invalid default value for property 'tg' in class 'App':
Undefined function 'slrealtime' for input arguments of type 'char'.

Starting in R2021b, you can use MATLAB Compiler to create standalone executable for controlling real-time applications. You can deploy instrument panels created with App Designer, or simple MATLAB programs that use the MATLAB API for Simulink Real-Time. For more information, see:

By using the MATLAB Compiler workflow, the end user does not require any MATLAB license to interact with the Speedgoat target computer. The app will run against the royalty-free MATLAB Runtime.

Note that this workflow is not supported in R2020b and R2021a.
