Hi,
thanks for your replies so far, but unfortunately I'm still confused.

Yes, I have seen it, but it didn't make sense to me, and it still doesn't. IMHO my application is a client, isn't it?
What I want to do is to register the services my application supports as a listener so I get the data of a remote BLE devices when it connects to bluez. I do not want to make a new service available to remote devices.
Why do I need to provide the full hierarchy? Isn't the client side GattProfile1 interface what I need?
In other words:
What I have understood so far is that I need to create a service as a server which provides the service UUIDs my client application is supporting, is that correct?
Kind regards,
Johannes
