python - GAE AttributeError: 'Credentials' object has no attribute 'with_subject'

Question

I have a python app I want to deploy on App Engine (2nd Generation Python 3.7) on which I use a Service Account with Domain-wide delegation enabled to access user data.

Locally I do:

import google.auth
from apiclient.discovery import build

creds, project = google.auth.default(
    scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user', ],
)
creds = creds.with_subject(GSUITE_ADMIN_USER)

service = build('admin', 'directory_v1', credentials=creds)

This works good and, as far as I know it is the current way to do this when using Application Default Credentials (locally I have GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS defined).

Problem is on GAE, when deployed, the call to with_subject raises: AttributeError: 'Credentials' object has no attribute 'with_subject'

I have enabled Domain-wide delegation on the GAE service account already.

What is different between the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS I use locally and the ones in GAE when both are service accounts with domain-wide delegation?

Where is .with_subject() on GAE?

The creds object received is of type compute_engine.credentials.Credentials.
