How can I make my app the default SMS app ?
I've already searched but nothing regarding for Android 9+ and 10+

I don't want an intent of user having to choose. As I read from here

If you want your app to be the default sms app you need to send the user to the correct setting so he can (and need to) set your app as the default SMS App.

You can not define it programmatically.

I have gone to the default apps settings but my app isn't listed there. How can I add it?

You are probably missing the intent filters (and services) needed?
