Looking at ~/Library/Mobile Documents I see a folder named com~apple~shoebox. What application does it belong to?

According to @Cocoanetics, Ole Begemann (under ShoeboxUISerice and WebViewService) and this SO-answer, "Shoebox" was Apple's codename/inside name for Passbook!

com~apple~shoebox is used by Wallet on iOS to store and sync some non-sensitive files via iCloud. (The folder does not contain secured data such as the Wallet items themselves.)

com~apple~shoebox appears in the UI for both iOS and macOS as iCloud Drive > Wallet. (Curiously it is not displayed in the UI along with the other iCloud Drive root level folders, but you can see it if you search for a file contained within it.)

When you use Wallet in iOS and try to save a file (such as a PDF export from one of your cards), the file is saved to com~apple~shoebox/Documents/. There are some support files stored in com~apple~shoebox/UbiquitousCards/, which seems to only contain a few logos and icons for Wallet items.

Only took more than 10 years to get an answer this one! There is not even a single other hit on the Internet for this :)
