The builds I had made all link to the UniformTypeIdentifiers framework which apparently was added to macOS 11 and later. Running this Wish on earlier versions seems to crash due to the load not finding the framework. What's interesting is that the Tk build system is supposed to weak link to it yet the loader still exits the app on start.

yes (i think i linked to that thread in my original post).

anyhow, i think i might have fixed the problem.

The binaries found here
<https://git.iem.at/pd/pure-data/-/jobs/57601/artifacts/raw/Pd-0.54-0-61-g3afa2ff6.dmg>
should be build with a Tcl/Tk-8.6.13 that runs on anything since 
OSX-10.9 Mavericks, either x86_64 and arm64.

i cannot test right now, so it would be great if people could do that 
while i sleep.
i'm esp interested in the extremes, that is:
- old macOS versions & old OSX versions (Mountain Lion anybody? but 
really any version that is no longer supported by Apple would be great)
- newest macOS versions (i can do some basic tests on Monterey tomorrow, 
but don't have access to Ventura or Sonoma machines)

the binary itself is not the latest and greatest 'master' branch, but a 
develop snapshot from earlier today (just so you know).

if all works well, i could switch the CI to the new Tcl/Tk tomorrow.
