iOS 14 & watchOS 7 Antivirus exception required + "private adress" new feature

Hi,

Since I've upgraded my Apple devices to latest OS (iOS 14 & watchOS 7), some features were not working anymore, like downloading Apple built-in apps (weather, translate, ...) from the appstore (issue 1).

Also, some web filtering policies were not anymore applied to these devices (issue 2).

Issue 1 --> I had to add a new exception to "Web Protection --> Filtering Options --> Exceptions" and to bypass AV Scan on such URLs: ^https?://([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?cdn-apple\.com\.?/

Issue 2 --> DHCP static leases rules were not working anymore due to the mac address changes!!! of these two devices --> this is a new "feature" of these two OS named "private WIFI address" (see this link https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211227). To solve this, I've created new DHCP static rules (apparently this new "private" MAC address will stay the same on respective WIFI networks, to be confirmed).

Hope this help.
