App doesn't show up in the apps menu on Huawei Watch 2

I'm implementing an application in Android Studio. I'm running into a problem using my Huawei Watch 2. The app works fine, but I don't understand why it doesn't show up in the apps menu on the watch.

Going to Settings -> Apps and notifications -> Info app, I see my app.

What is happening, and how can I fix it?

Here is my Manifest.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.prova._poc">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />

    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.type.watch" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"

        </service>

        <uses-library

        <!--

            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>

        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".Splash">

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="Splash" />
                    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>

</manifest>

Your main Activity's manifest entry is wrong. Specifically, for it to appear in the app launcher on any Android device, it needs an <intent-filter> element that looks like this:

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>

I'm not sure why you have all the other stuff in there, but if you need it, create a second <intent-filter> element for it. You can have several intent-filters for a given <activity>, matching different intents - but the one for the launcher should only contain the action and category shown here.

Having apps on your phone doesn't automatically install them on your watch as well. If you go to the Play Store app, then scroll down from the front screen, you'll see a heading marked Apps on your phone: these are all the apps on your phone that have Wear OS companion apps, which you can install by tapping on any of the buttons on the right.
