One is server, the other is the client (always the case with Bluetooth).
When does the pairing happen? I can think of a few times:
Use case 1 -
* Swapper decides to use bluetooth to send apps to others.
* Selects "Use bluetooth instead" on the "join wifi" screen.
* Starts a bluetooth server
+ Make itself discoverable
+ Opens a bluetooth server socket
+ Waits for incoming client connections.
* Swapee opens swap workflow
* Selects the bluetooth option
* Is asked to pair with nearby bluetooth devices, using the F-Droid UUID to make sure it doesn't connect to, e.g. bluetooth headphones.
* Stays connected in the background
* Adds the repo as per usual (with a url such as bluetooth://device-mac-address)
* When repo updates, it uses the open connection to get data
* If the connection has closed, attempts to reconnect
* Same when downloading files
