I have to admit that I am not good with jumping spiders. Especially those in the genus Phiddipus. So not sure.
P. californicus is a western species but it has turned up in odd spots in fruit from California. ..so it could be that….
My guess is that it is this one….though…. the golden jumping spider.

It’s just a guess though
