The iPhone/iOS app is using CoreData + SQLite (NSSQLiteStoreType) + iCloud iOS. When the app starts on first install (or after deleting and reinstalling via xcode), and there is prior app data in iCloud from a prior installation or from other devices in the same account, the following error occurs, then a 60 second retry delay, then a successful migration to iCloud. The result is that user of the app thinks that their data is lost when the app is upgraded. However, after the 60 second delay, the data is restored. The error and some code follows.
What causes this error? Where can I learn more about this error?
[4972:2014294] CoreData: iCloud: Error: initial sync notification returned an error (Error Domain=BRCloudDocsErrorDomain Code=12 "The operation couldn't be completed. (BRCloudDocsErrorDomain error 12.)")

I hope my answer can save a lot of time for those who run into this error.
This error occurs when the time between the removal and installation of the application is less than a certain interval. I dont know whether it is the same as for me, mine was 15 seconds.
Silly mistake, a waste of a few hours.
