You can try the same images in your scenario to see if the issue happens.
I don't think the issue related to the permission to view image in SharePoint, as dataset owner already enter credential for the SharePoint list data source in Power BI service, any one view the report use the same credential to access the SharePoint list.

Helper IHi v-qiuyu-msft
There is no issue displaying images from public sources such as the web. I am able to display the images you used on both apps with no issue.
The issue is displaying images that are stored on SharePoint online and the issue only occurs in the apps. The PowerBI users have access to both the PowerBI workspace and the SharePoint site we are using.

Hi MikeHawryluk,
Please see below response from PG team:
The mobile apps do not work like the web application which uses cookies for authentication and that’s the main reason.
Possible workarounds:
- Transform the images to base64 string and place it in the model - see attached, you can share with customer, there are instructions in it.
- Use PowerBI DAX UNICHAR function – there is an external blog post with nice explanation here: https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2017/04/11/the-dax-unichar-function-and-how-to-use-it-in-measures-for-data-visualisation/
- It depends on clients’ need but PowerBI Conditional formatting - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-conditional-table-formatting/ might solve requirements
- Place images in a public resource that doesn’t require authentication
