My app includes a menu bar icon that shows the status of a bluetooth connection. How can I make this app and launch it when a user logs in? Does the launch agent need to then launch a GUI App? Can the launch agent get the permission to use bluetooth or does that require a GUI App?

How are you setting up your agent? Using SMAppService or a plist?
Is your agent embedded inside an app or is it a standalone app bundle?
Does it work properly if you're NOT running as a faceless process?
