Have the same issue with SSRS Mobile reports on Android app: ones the dataset on SSRS reporting server is pre-cached, Android is not able to render report.

But iPhone/iPad is working very well with pre-cached datasets.

 

For now have to set option to do not cache datasets, to allow Android to work. This is not good for performance... every time report opens - requesting the data.

I have reports connected to SSAS-based datasets, and cubes updating daily. So the daily cache is the best way, as the data is not changing during the day, and no reason to ask fresh data all the time from all devices...

 

Had email communication with mobile team about this problem, they confirmed that this is known issue. 

 

Hope that this issue will be solved... To buy iPhones for everyone is not a solution...

I contacted PBI mobile team...in the next release (probably in 2-3 weeks) the problem will be fixed.

        I am running the latest version and still can't render mobile reports if the dataset is cached.
