Posting for the third time. I had just discovered this on my device last night.


Another thread here with some other's findings as well as my own. Someone seemed to have it show in the App Library list, mine presented like yours.


Enabling lockdown seemed to make it disappear but i'm not really sure the extent of that nor do I want to disable lockdown until there's some definitive answers.

I think i've made a discovery that helps clarify, though I can't find any documented examples to back up what i found. You can find that over here. Looks like a sync over from a Mac!


While I do believe it to be an "Apple App" to some degree, the lack of a naming convention around it does still seem suspicious, especially considering all of the files in the same directory as it, are owned by my local user, rather than root or a service account.


I hope this helps,
