Cannot update photos with Google People API

Question

https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people/updateContact

Here's the wiki on update contact using People API. The update works for fields like 'emailAddresses'. But 'coverPhotos' or 'photos' are not listed as valid value for 'updatePersonFields' and I get return code 400 if I try to update them.

Is changing photos of a contact supported by this API? Or is there any other API that does this job?

Since Mid July 2019 it is FINALLY possible to update the contact photo with the people api: https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people/updateContactPhoto

people/10244712xxxxx1564465" is not a valid contact person resource. - maybe you already deleted this contact, and created new?
