I'm looking for a way to detect applications on my network with iptables, similar to the App-ID feature found in Palo Alto Networks firewalls. Are there any built-in features in iptables or add-on solutions that can help with this? Thanks for your input!

You can't really do that directly with iptables, but you can limit an application's binary to run as a specific user or group. Then, with iptables, you can use the '-m owner --uid-owner ' option to restrict that user from accessing the network. Pairing this with tools like AppArmor and systemd can further enhance your security.
