how to move UIManagedDocument to iCloud


What is the code to move UIManagedDocument which has some data from local to iCloud directory? I understand i need to use migratePersistentStore feature, but when i don't understand how should i do that with a managed document, and there is no examples of how to do this. Im struggling for 2 weeks now. There are a lot of these questions on stack overflow, but none of them are getting an answer? Is is this hard? Just one method to move existing document to iCloud?

-(void)transferFileFromLocalDirectory:(NSURL*)localURL ToiCloudDirectory:(NSURL*)iCloudURL{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
            NSLog(@"Successfully set document ubiquitous");
            UIManagedDocument* doc=[[UIManagedDocument alloc]initWithFileURL:iCloudURL];
            doc.persistentStoreOptions=[self getPersistentOptionsFromDocumentMetadataAtURL:[iCloudURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"DocumentMetadata.plist"]];

            [doc saveToURL:doc.fileURL forSaveOperation:UIDocumentSaveForCreating completionHandler:^(BOOL success){
                UIManagedDocument* localDoc=[[UIManagedDocument alloc]initWithFileURL:localURL];
                NSPersistentStoreCoordinator* psc=[[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc]initWithManagedObjectModel:localDoc.managedObjectModel];
                NSPersistentStore* store=[[psc persistentStores]lastObject];
                if(!store){
                    store=[[NSPersistentStore alloc]initWithPersistentStoreCoordinator:psc configurationName:nil URL:[[localURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"StoreContent"]URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"persistentStore"] options:nil];
                }
                NSLog(@"store : %@",store);
                NSError* error2=nil;
                [psc migratePersistentStore:store toURL:[[localURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"StoreContent"]URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"persistentStore"] options:nil withType:NSSQLiteStoreType error:&error2];
                if(error){
                    NSLog(@"error migrating persistent store:\n%@",error);
                }
            }];
    });
}

i get this output
