I have installed bitcoin core on mac and accessed the config file from the preferences tab on the bitcoin-qt.

Now, I have started testnet on it by the below settings. 

testnet=1
server=1
rpcuser=xxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxxx
rpctimeout=30000
rpcport=8332

I was able to run it properly. so I thought of accessing the RPC from other systems, so I have assigned a public IP to it and in the config file, I have mentioned

rpcallowip=0.0.0.0

Now, I tried starting qt on my mac but unable to start it as it throws Invalid -rpcallowip subnet specification and I could not open the preferences tab and then open the configuration file.

I have tried to access the folder directly by going to the location '~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/' but there was no folder named Bitcoin in my mac.

Is there any other location, where it would be?

I have searched the entire system using bitcoin.conf but found no results.

can anyone help me on this?

    How did you put that config file (the top snippet) if there was non in that folder? The subnet specification might mean that you need to add a /n suffix to the IP, like 0.0.0.0/0. This is useful to allow all on local network, like this 192.168.0.0/24.

    Hello @StevenRoose : thanks for the reply. I've done it from bitcoin qt where there is an option to open configuration file from preferences tab.

I just needed to solve a similar issue of modifying the config file through the preference tab and then I could not launch Bitcoin Qt anymore.

The bitcoin.config file is located here /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin

But you need to go to the Finder app and hit cmd ⌘+⇧ shift+. first to show hidden folders and files.
