      Workaround

      According to Remote Confluence methods:

      The XML-RPC and SOAP APIs are deprecated since Confluence 5.5.
      Confluence has a new REST API that is progressively replacing our existing APIs. We recommend plugin developers use the new REST APIs where possible.

      While there isn't a REST API replacement for the addProfilePicture method, it may be possible to use it via the old XML-RPC and SOAP APIs on newer versions of Confluence. However, as these APIs are deprecated, they may be removed in future versions of Confluence.
