TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products
These are some of the common TCP and UDP ports used by Apple products, such as macOS and iCloud. Many are well-known, industry-standard ports.

This list and the list of hosts and ports required to use Apple products on enterprise networks are updated periodically.

If you’re configuring a firewall or similar access-control scheme, port-watching software can help you decide how to do it. Be aware that some products can use different ports and services, including ports and services not documented here. And some services, such as those used for a VPN, can use multiple ports. If your firewall doesn’t specify a port's type, it probably configures that port for both TCP and UDP. (The application firewall in macOS controls access by app, not by port.)
