I'm not sure why you want to explicitly use the SMS app, and I'm not sure if this is possible. On the other hand, iOS offers by default MFMessageComposeViewController

to send SMS from the iOS app.

Check this example for more details.



Edit: I found this wiki page that may contain an answer to your question. Please be aware that I have not tested it.

let number = "sms:+12345678901"
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: number)!)

Swift 5:

let sms: String = "sms:+1234567890&body=Hello Abc How are You I am ios developer."
let strURL: String = sms.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed)!
UIApplication.shared.open(URL.init(string: strURL)!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
