Description

https://github.com/autobrew/homebrew-core/issues/89#issuecomment-990141387

However the underlying problem here may be that we need to update the script (https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/HEAD/r/tools/autobrew) in apache arrow that uses this repo to build a version of apache-arrow. The current repo is mostly intended to build libarrow for macos 10.11 and 10.13. For newer versions of macos we use this tap to build arrow: https://github.com/autobrew/homebrew-cran

Also, the CRAN package now uses a much simpler script to fetch a suitable binary of libarrow (https://github.com/autobrew/scripts/blob/master/apache-arrow), it no longer has to bootstrap a homebrew installation like we did early on.
