Hi, here are the steps I've carried out in my test: I'm using macOS Big Sur 11.6.1 on an Intel 64bit machine. I've already got JACK 1.9.19 installed from https://jackaudio.org/downloads/. I went with the Intel 64bit installer as opposed to the universal installer. My version of Pd 0.52-0 test3 is the one "compiled for Macintosh OS 10 or later" from Miller's page.
When I open Pd-0.52-0test3.app and choose "jack" as the audio backend, I get an error in the Pd console saying "JACK: couldn't connect to server, is JACK running?" I then quit Pd entirely and start QjackCtl (also obtained from the https://jackaudio.org/downloads/ install package). I can successfully start the JACK server through QjackCtl and engage with other apps like Ardour. When I start Pd again and choose "jack" as the audio backend, I still receive the "JACK: couldn't connect to server, is JACK running?" error and "pure_data" does not show up in the JACK connection graph. If I then start Dan's most recent build of test3 (Pd-0.52-0test3-x86_64-jack.app) from this email thread, choosing "jack" from the Media menu results in no error and "pure_data" shows up in the JACK connection graph. Thanks and let me know if I can test other attempts to fix this. I'll keep an eye on this thread.
