Problems installing applesimutils using Homebrew

Question

When trying to run the following commands:

brew tap wix/brew
brew install applesimutils

my homebrew fails with the following:

Warning: Some installed formulae are not readable:
  applesimutils: /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/wix/homebrew-brew/applesimutils.rb:4: syntax error, unexpected <<, expecting keyword_end

I'm running on

Environment:
  OS: macOS 10.14.5
  Node: 10.15.3
  Yarn: 1.16.0
  npm: 6.4.1
  Watchman: 4.9.0
  Xcode: Xcode 10.2.1 Build version 10E1001
  Android Studio: 3.4 AI-183.5429.30.34.5452501

Packages: (wanted => installed)
  react: 16.3.1 => 16.3.1

I tried to do brew doctor and brew cleanup but still getting the same error.

Thanks

This has nothing to do with Detox.

The solution for this issue is explained in the AppleSimUtils readme's troubleshooting section:

If Homebrew complains about a conflict in the wix/brew tap, run brew untap wix/brew && brew tap wix/brew and try installing again
