I will need to look into that, we actually intend to have this all automated with auto-pts: https://github.com/intel/auto-pts Though that is not complete for BlueZ, only Zephyr, and even in case of Zephyr we hardcoded the handles, but I agree it is better to somehow notify the handle back to the application. Also another thing that we might have to improve in the future is a way to pin services so even if one reboot the system, or just restart bluetoothd, the application can have its services in the same region once again. -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz
