Description

Travis CI says they are winding down their support for Xcode 6.4, which we use in our CI as the minimum Xcode which can build Arrow libraries

"Running builds with Xcode 6.4 in Travis CI is deprecated and will be removed in January 2019.
If Xcode 6.4 is critical to your builds, please contact our support team at [e-mail] to discuss options.
Services are not supported on osx"

We should decide if we want to continue to support this version of Xcode, and what are the implications if we do not
