appium-adb: disableIME not working on SDK 28

See original GitHub issue

The problem

The disableIME method in http://github.com/appium/appium-adb calls adb -P 5037 shell ime enable com.google.android.apps.inputmethod/.SoftKeyboard which gives the error:

Exception occurred while executing:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown id: com.google.android.inputmethod.pinyin/.PinyinIME

        at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:731)

Details

Only happens SDK 28, doesn’t happen on 25 or 23.

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

Just run adb -P 5037 shell ime enable com.google.android.apps.inputmethod/.SoftKeyboard when a 28 emulator is running.

I’m trying it with a different IME. Worked locally, waiting for CI result.
