## Discussion

Add the Default Carrier Messaging App entitlement to your app by following these steps:

1. In the Xcode project navigator, select your app’s target, and then the Signing & Capabilities tab.
2. Add a new capability by clicking the + Capability button and then type “Default Carrier Messaging” in the search field.
3. Double-click the Default Carrier Messaging App entry to add the entitlement to your app.

> Important: You may develop and test TelephonyMessagingKit apps on devices in all regions by using an Apple-provided provisioning profile. People using your app must have an account registered in the European Union (EU), and their device must be located within the EU.
