Unable to Intercept Android GLES App in Mali Graphics Debugger

Device : Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F)

Application : Typical  GLES bootstrap app (rotating cube, implemented completely in native)

Issue : No trace appears in MGD (unrooted configuration)

Log :

Troubleshooting guide as well as some threads in this forum suggests the solution is to change SELinux to permissive mode (adb shell setenforce 0). However, if I understand correctly, I cannot do that if the device is not rooted.

Is there anyway I can make tracing work in un-rooted configuration?
