FileVault recovery key improvements
It is now possible to enable the escrowing of the FileVault personal recovery key for Mac devices running macOS 10.13 or above. The recovery key used to unlock the encrypted disk is sent to our server and stored in an encrypted format. The administrator can retrieve the personal recovery key from the device inventory information.

Updated features
- We have improved the restart handling for the macOS patch deployment.

Fixes
- New Mac devices became suspended if you migrated data from a Mac device to the new Mac device using Time Machine backup or Migration Assistant.
- Issues with Android kiosk mode:
- Disabling the kiosk mode temporarily didn't work properly
- Kiosk mode did not start on the device without a SIM slot
- The Lock device command did not prompt the device lock screen passcode
