I'm having exactly the same problem, but mine is in transferring files from my ipad to laptop. All my Numbers files provide the same insipid and uninspiring message of the missing .xml. The note above explains it: that "great" invention, iCloud, has mucked up perfectly good files, with no way of getting them back. If you are lucky, you have Microsoft applications. Then you can "share" a copy with yourself by transferring the file to Exel or Word. Then the file can be opened and overwritten by the right version of Numbers and Pages that will continue to work for you. Days like this make us all wonder why we decry Microsoft and embrace Apple.
