I am trying to read my air pods pro battery life using UWP app and I get an exception error when socket.ConnectAsync is called Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) without any more info. Below you can find the source:

private async Task ConnectToAirpods()
{
    DeviceInformationCollection connectedDevices = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(BluetoothDevice.GetDeviceSelectorFromConnectionStatus(BluetoothConnectionStatus.Connected));
    foreach (DeviceInformation connectedDevice in connectedDevices)
    {
        if (connectedDevice.Name != "AirPods Pro")
            continue;

        BluetoothDevice bluetoothDevice = await BluetoothDevice.FromIdAsync(connectedDevice.Id);

        RfcommDeviceServicesResult rfcommServices = await bluetoothDevice.GetRfcommServicesForIdAsync(
            RfcommServiceId.FromUuid(new Guid("0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb")), BluetoothCacheMode.Uncached);

        if (rfcommServices.Services.Count > 0)
        {
            var service = rfcommServices.Services[0];

            try
            {
                var socket = new StreamSocket();
                await socket.ConnectAsync(service.ConnectionHostName, service.ConnectionServiceName);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

            }
        }
    }
}

I tested this. The problem may appear in this line of code:

RfcommDeviceServicesResult rfcommServices = await bluetoothDevice.GetRfcommServicesForIdAsync(RfcommServiceId.FromUuid(new Guid("0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb")), BluetoothCacheMode.Uncached);

It is recommended to replace the Guid with:

RfcommDeviceServicesResult rfcommServices = await bluetoothDevice.GetRfcommServicesForIdAsync(
    RfcommServiceId.FromUuid(RfcommServiceId.SerialPort.Uuid), BluetoothCacheMode.Uncached);

I used a similar wireless headset device for testing. Before the replacement, I got an access denied error. After that, the connection can proceed normally.

Thanks.
