Restoring device backup on ABM (or DEP) provisioned devices

The release of iOS 13.2 introduced a bug affecting the restoration of backup on devices enrolled with Apple Business Manager (or Apple DEP). While restoring the backup, the following error Profile Installation failed - Profile must be installed interactively. As this is an issue from Apple and is affecting all MDM services, the same has been reported to Apple.
