`Unable to initiate download` errors with iCloud file system

[mwaterfall]

We've been getting hundreds of Unable to initiate download errors (see below), and I'm wondering if this may be because the files have not yet finished uploading to iCloud when the file system attempts to download them.

Looking at the metadata query, there's no check on NSMetadataUbiquitousItemIsUploadedKey. Is there a reason for this?

Hmm, could be. Will the uploaded metadata work for files uploading from a different device? I always assumed it related to being uploaded from the local device, but it probably means both. I'll look into it.

Yes that's true, hadn't thought of that. Docs aren't very clear in that respect.

I have seen this type of problem at various times with iCloud. I think it is usually a genuine problem with the daemon. Restarting device could help. Otherwise, just ignore and see if it recovers.
