SSRS reports on the IPad or IPhone has been improved since SQL 2012 SP1

Almost 2 years ago I wrote a blogpost about SQL Server Reporting Service (SSRS) Reports on the IPad or IPhone. I was the first time you could display SSRS reports on the IPad. Unfortunatly not everything was rendered in a correct way. In SQL Server 2012 SP1 this has been improved.

Here is an example of a report in SQL 2008 R2



 Here is an example of the same report in SQL 2012 SP1

As you can see, the strange Blue Question marks are gone.

Starting with SQL 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Reporting Services supports viewing and basic interactivity with reports on Apple iOS devices like IPad en Iphone, with the Apple Safari browser.
Viewing reports in Report Manager (http://myserver/reportserver) is not suppported. You need to start the reports from the report server via http://myserver.reports. Here you can browse to the report and tape the report name to open the report. After opening the report yiu can see that the Export to PDF and TIFF file is supported. More information about the support for Apple iOS devices on SSRS can be found here.
