Thanks for confirmation that this does indeed work. I took the liberty to add this info to mac/README.txt when the question comes up in the future:

Ok I got it to work - there was on colon missing in the article, so here are my steps to make the downloaded Pd linkable to the debugger:

1. extract the current pd executable entitlements (don?t forget the colon before the path as this is an option to remove the blob)

codesign -d /Applications/Pd-0.53-0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd --entitlements :/tmp/pd-entitlement.xml

2. open /tmp/pd-entitlement.xml should start it in Xcode. Add this key to it and save

<key>com.apple.security.get-task-allow</key> <true/>

3. replace the entitlement back with this code:

codesign -s - --deep --force --options=runtime --entitlements /tmp/pd-entitlement.xml /Applications/Pd-0.53-0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd

Voil?! Link pd (not Pd) to your debugger and you?re as happy as me!
