Hey SamirAbdayem ,

 

If a user has home tenant, they should be able sign in with their own credential to Power BI mobile app, and should be able to land on the home screen (not using the shared report link).

 

Thanks, Maya

Hi mshenhav,

 

I have the same problem. Actually, it is even a bit more complicated.

 

I cannot sign into my PowerBI account on my iPad using the PowerBI iOS app. It returns the error message quoted in the original post.

 

However, 

- I do have a PowerBI account.

- The app has worked on my iPad before.

- The app is working on my iPhone without problems.

- Access through browser is working on all devices including this iPad.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks for your help,

Matthias

    PS: I have tried deleting and reinstalling both the PowerBI app and Authenticator app on my iPad. It didn't help.

    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    Can you please answer the questions below:

    What is the app version you are using?

    Are you trying to connect to Power BI service or to Power BI Report Server?

    If you are trying to connect to the service, are you connecting to the global service or to one of the services hosted in Sovereign clouds? 

    Is your issue related to accessing external content or it is general sign in issue?

     

    Thanks, Maya

      Hi mshenhav,

       

      thanks for the quick reply.

       

      - App version 27.6

      - PowerBI Service

      - I am trying to sign into my company's account. I am not fully sure where it is hosted.

      - It seems a general issue. I am trying to access my company account.

       

      Hope this helps.

      Matthias
