This is due to a limitation in Apple’s Network Extension API, which surprisingly whitelists a number of system services like Maps, FaceTime, App Store or Software Update and therefore doesn’t report the network activity of these services to third-party application firewalls.
The use of this new API is now mandatory for third-party developers on macOS Big Sur, because Apple no longer supports the previous kernel extension based approach, which didn’t suffer from this limitation.
We’ve been investigating a solution in Little Snitch to make these whitelisted connections visible by means of alternative techniques. This solution is already available in our latest nightly build of Little Snitch 5.1.
