iPhone Screen Time showing 6+ hours of "com.azul.zulu.java"

Published on:

I found something strange in my iPhone Screen Time: an app called "com.azul.zulu.java" showing 6h 8min of daily usage.

Here's what makes this bizarre: – Azul Zulu is a Java runtime for macOS/Windows/Linux – it doesn't exist for iOS – iOS doesn't support Java applications at all – I don't have Azul Zulu installed on my Mac – No VPN or MDM profiles on the device – TestFlight is installed but never opened – Screen Time sync across devices is not enabled

Context: I'm actively working on a Python project in Visual Studio Code on my Mac. The project is entirely Python-based, no Java dependencies.

I've checked: ✓ Settings > VPN & Device Management – Clean ✓ No unknown profiles ✓ TestFlight – Never launched ✓ Mac – No Azul Zulu Java installed ✓ VS Code project – Pure Python, no Java

The bundle identifier "com.azul.zulu.java" shouldn't even be possible on an iPhone. Screen Time is actively tracking something that technically cannot exist on iOS.

Has anyone seen this before? Is this: – A Screen Time bug showing phantom apps from backups? – Some beta app masquerading with this bundle ID? – Cross-device sync glitch bleeding Mac processes into iPhone (though it's disabled)? – A security concern?

Any insights would be appreciated. This is genuinely puzzling.
