Can't use pavr2gui as sudo on Wayland

Wayland session forbids using GUI applications as sudo:

I know there is a workaround with xhost (https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/5eb633/solution_running_graphical_app_with_sudo_in/) or just using Xorg session (I am using this workaround), but I think these solutions should be only temporary.
Is there a way to make pavr2gui fully "compatible" with Wayland?
I am using Fedora 29.
You should not need to run it with sudo. If you install it according to the instructions in the user's guide, it installs a udev rule to make Pololu USB devices accessible to normal users, and the rule could be manually installed without much trouble. Why are you running it with sudo?
You are right, sorry.
I needed to run this as sudo, because I wanted to run binary file without installing all the program files (I dont like sh installers, because there is no easy clickable gui uninstallers - or maybe thats not true?)
Issue can be closed :)
