I found out that I done a mistake of setting the second string 'sources' key to the literal string 'xkb_layout' instead of the layout codename.
So, I changed the setting as follows:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ara')]

Now, the keyboard indicator does show the different layouts, and defaults to
the english 'en' layout. Yet, if I select the arabic layout, it doesn't
actually change the layout, yet it does update the indicator to display 'ar'
instead of 'en' (even though the active layout is arabic 'ar').

Also if I actually changed the layout using a hotkey, the keyboard indicator
doesn't update to reflect the currently active layout.
