FWIW, Apple has a "VPN" API that can be used to implement a firewall (or a proxy, or etc.). I don't know whether there's a usable commercial product that does that, but if you're really into it you can certainly write your own.

Yea, but it doesn't really work because you cannot block on the application level.

You can only block hostnames/ip-addresses, and these often change with updates, so you'd have to constantly monitor and block new hosts after the app starts leaking again.
