I just updated to Audacity 3.25, and the program will not open. Instead I get a message that the software is being analyzed, and the analysis just hangs up. The hangup has lasted for more than an hour. How do I bypass the analysis?
On the Audacity Forum, LWinterberg wrote, "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."
I had downloaded the universal version of Audacity. The x86 version really works!

Oops! I used the wrong word. The message is "Verifying Audacity"
LWinterberg solved the problem. Thank you!
