The issue seems to be resolved by heading over to Developer Options on MIUI, and enabling the following: USB debugging -Debug mode when USB is connected Install via USB -Allow installing apps via USB USB debugging (Security Settings)- Allow granting permissions and simulating input via USB debugging

The first was already enabled, and I installed the apk file manually so I didn’t need the second option.

I’m guessing the issue can be pinned down to the last option, which allows granting the necessary permissions. @CoderBuck please confirm.

Thank you @rom1v for this amazing app. This is a worthy free replacement for ReverseTethering NoRoot.
