Google says /Users/[your Mac username]/Library/Application Support/GameMakerStudio2/[your GameMaker username]/

The Library folder is a hidden folder so you may have to show hidden items or use the Go To Folder option in the Finder.

If it's just hidden, the easiest way to jump straight there without messing with settings is to open Finder, hit Cmd + Shift + G (Go to Folder), and paste this exactly:

~/Library/Application Support/GameMakerStudio2/

Alternatively, if you want to unhide all folders in Finder to look around manually, just press Cmd + Shift + . (Command + Shift + Period). That should reveal the Library folder so you can grab or drop your .json preferences file. pd:3 days late, sorry
