macOS job times out when installing brew packages

I used Travis-CI to provide macOS releases for my Strawberry Music Player project, but a few weeks ago it stopped again, it always times out when installing packages through brew:
The job exceeded the maximum time limit for jobs, and has been terminated.

The yml file is here:

github.com

strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/blob/travis/.travis.yml

sudo: required
language: C++
os:
  - osx
compiler:
  - gcc

before_install:
  - if ! [ "$DEPLOY_KEY_ENC" == "" ]; then
      echo $DEPLOY_KEY_ENC | base64 --decode | openssl aes-256-cbc -K $encrypted_83a41ac424a6_key -iv $encrypted_83a41ac424a6_iv -out ~/.ssh/id_rsa -d ;
      chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa ;
    fi
  - git fetch --unshallow
  - git pull
  #- brew update
  #- travis_wait 400 brew upgrade || echo "Failed"
  #- travis_wait 400 brew upgrade || echo "Failed"

I struggled with this in the past too, I ended up adding “travis_wait 400” before brew update and brew upgrade commands, but even that stopped working now, right now those commands are commented out.
I have the same problem with brew update and upgrade before intalling brew packages.

Found out that the cause was end of life macOS high sierra
Switched to: osx_image: xcode11.3 and it now works.
