Can you point > me in the right direction? The same interface can be used for both client and server role. Take a look at the "Role" option for RegisterProfile (with test-profile you'd pass -c to it). This basically tells bluetoothd that your application is capable of supporting the client role of a certain profile. To actually connect to the profile (which should cause a NewConnection call to your application, giving it the socket) you'd use the usual ConnectProfile or Connect methods on the Device1 interface (see doc/device-api.txt, you can play with these e.g. using the "connect" command in bluetoothctl (with no parameters it maps to Device1.Connect and with one parameter (the UUID) to Device1.ConnectProfile). The ConnectProfile call should always work, whereas for your profile to be included in the set of profiles connected using Connnect you'd need to set the AutoConnect option to true when registering your profile.
