You may use this command for listing the files for your own debuggable apk:

adb shell run-as com.corp.appName ls /data/data/com.corp.appName/cache

And this script for pulling from cache:

#!/bin/sh
adb shell "run-as com.corp.appName cat '/data/data/com.corp.appNamepp/$1' > '/sdcard/$1'"
adb pull "/sdcard/$1"
adb shell "rm '/sdcard/$1'"

Then you can pull a file from cache like this:

./pull.sh cache/someCachedData.txt

Root is not required.
