Pull (available) MAC Addresses from supervised devices to improve device onboarding
Currently, SimpleMDM by default pulls the WiFi MAC address for all supervised devices, but does not pull ethernet MAC address.
During our device onboarding process, some of our Apple devices do not configure themselves over Wifi, and hence it is more valuable for us to pull the eth card MAC address instead (which now has to be manually copied by hand/scanned from device packaging/pulled from Network settings in MacOS).
We would like the option for SimpleMDM to retrieve both the WiFi and ethernet MAC Address (if available) for all supervised devices.

iOS 13+ and macOS 10.15+ will provide MAC addresses for additional devices beyond just the wireless network interface.

This information is a "best effort" and any information available will be displayed regardless of OS version detected. Earlier OS versions may not provide this information to SimpleMDM, thus the information may not always be available.

Upvoting Phil's comment here as well!

Can this be backported to previous iOS and macOS versions?
The ethernet mac address does show up on the device page (/admin/devices/<id>) for devices with version numbers prior to the ones you list above.

This feature would allow me to allocate IP's via DHCP once the device gets plugged in, significantly reducing deployment time.
