Appium 1.8.0 : Unable to launch instant app through mobile:deepLink

As the latest Appium version(1.8.0) support deeplink and instant app. So any additional utility is no longer required for its handling .

In general , below ADB command required to launch any instant app.

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "https://www.viki.com/home"

However if we add the package into this command
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d “https://www.viki.com/home” *"com.viki.android"

then we got the below error:
Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=https://www.viki.com/… pkg=com.viki.android }
Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=https://www.viki.com/… flg=0x10000000 pkg=com.viki.android }

The same response i got on appium-server when i execute below command to launch instant app.

driver.executeScript("mobile:deepLink ", ImmutableMap.of(“url”, “https://www.viki.com/home",“package”,"com.viki.android”));

temporary workaround:
I added below condition under apk-utils.js to launch instant app with the deeplink command.

condition:
if(pkg.trim()===“test.instantapp”){
pkg="";
}

command:
driver.executeScript("mobile:deepLink ", ImmutableMap.of(“url”, “https://www.viki.com/home","package,“test.instantapp”));

please i want to launch my application through mobile:deeplink using appium

Did u get the solution ? even I’m stuck with same issue.
