Issue running BLE sniffer on ESP32 complied with platform IO

Question

here is the problem I'm searching for help for: I've created an example program for testing BLE advertisement using exactly the source found in: https://github.com/nkolban/esp32-snippets/blob/master/cpp_utils/tests/BLETests/SampleServer.cpp with a tiny addition of prints to make program progress visual. When running the single file in Arduino it works perfectly as expected. However, building it with vscode & platformio with the right setup, the program waits forever. The right setup means correct board & Arduino platform selections which work perfectly for me for lots of other functionalities (BLE, WiFi, etc). Following is the line where the program is waiting forever: Thank you.

The code to run when compiled with VScode PlatfromIO
