When using the sdk helper for the keyboard to type in autopilot, it reports "Keyboard is not on screen"

When using the sdk helper for the keyboard to type in autopilot, it reports "Keyboard is not on screen".

I have seen this both with the music-app and weather-app, and on jenkins it was failing around 3/4 attempts but not failing on a mako. It feels like there isn't a wait in the correct place.

An example traceback [0], in some cases you can see in the screenshot that the keyboard is not on the screen, however I have seen one cast where the keyboard was shown in the screenshot [1] (look at the subunit output for test_create_playlist_from_songs_tab).

Also seen this with clock as well [2], in the test TestClock.test_add_city_by_searching_must_add_world_city
