Failure to launch Audacity 3.3.3 on macOS 10.13.6

After dragging Audacity.app icon from DMG to applications folder, I double click icon in applications folder and dialog box appears states “verifying audacity” and gets stuck there and does not launch
System is set to allow apps downloaded from “App Store and identified developers”

From LWinterberg:

If you’re still running into this issue, the workaround is to install the binary specific to your system from https://github.com/audacity/audacity/releases/latest
The macOS-x.x.x-arm64.dmg is for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/…) macs, the macOS-x.x.x-x86_64.dmg is for Intel macs.
