Hi Simon, Thanks for the heads up; this is definitely an omission. You should be able to cancel a scan in progress.
Barring any unforeseen complications, the cancel functionality should be implemented in the develop branch tomorrow. This will allow the app cancel the scan and initiate a connect procedure from within the advertising event callback.
