Splunk Mobile Access Server - No search query provided error when accessing dashboards

Splunk 6.2 installed and everything is working great. Installed the Mobile Access server and I can't view any dashboards, even simple ones. Reports work fine and the 6.x examples work with no problems. Getting a "No search query provided". Funny thing is when I export to a PDF from that dashboard the data looks good. Any ideas?

Found out the problem. Inline search was creating search queries with a format the Mobile Access Server didn't recognize. Used to replace inline search and it works. SimpleXML issue?

I have run into the same problem: all dashboards I have created resulted in "No search query provided".

After installing the "Dashboard Examples" I probably found the difference between these dashboards and the dashboards created in Splunk 6.2.1 by looking at the XML code differences:
- Splunk-created dashboards contain the query strings inside a <query> markup,
- the dashboard examples (i.e. "chart") are using the <searchString> markup.

After manual conversion of the XML code of Splunk-created dashboards to a format identical to the "chart" example, the dashboard worked on the iPad as expected.

It seems not to be an issue of using inline searches or not...

What did you use to replace the inline searches? This is driving me nuts as well...
