SharePoint 2013 provider-hosted app with FAB authentication model

I am using FBA authentication model into one of SP WebApplications in our SP 2013 farm to give users outside the AD, accessibility to one of SPSite so they can access the lists & Libraries and run sharepoint apps ..
for that I installed & configured the components necessary to enable & manage the FBA users easily by following the steps in the great article made by Sean Earp
Configuring SharePoint 2013 Forms-Based Authentication with SQLMemberShipProvider
Now I am able to acess my SPsite using FBA users and see the Libraries & Apps inside the SharePoint site. and when I try to access one of the provider-hosted apps, the request redirected to the remote web using the FBA account correctly, but I didn't have any access to web-app or host-app from the remote website.
Is there any restriction to access sharepoint-hosted apps using FBA authentication model in SharePoint 2013.
You need to made some entry in your remote IIS site's web.config file.

PowerView spreadsheet throws error when displayed Sharepoint

I'm trying to access a PowerView spreadsheet in Sharepoint 2013 and I get the error below:
An error occurred while loading the model for the item or data source 'EntityDataSource'. Verify that the connection information is correct and that you have permissions to access the data source.
Here is what I have:
Server 1 - Sharepoint 2013 Server, with RS for Sharepoint Add-in installed, Analysis services feature installed
Server 2 - Contains the SQL Server installation which is used for holding the CRM 2013 databases as well as Sharepoint 2013 Config and Content databases.
I have created a Power View report in Excel 2013, using the OData
feed from my CRM 2013 organization. I saved this as .xlsx file and
uploaded to my Sharepoint site as a normal document.
I have
created an SSRS Application in Sharepoint Central Administration and
configured it to run under a service account
I have added the
following 'Servers' under my Excel Application -> Data Model settings
in Sharepoint
SQLServerName
SQLServerName\SQLInstanceName
SharepointServerName
SharepointServerName\SQLInstanceName
I have enabled the PowerView Integration Feature,
Report Server Integration Feature in my sharepoint site collection
features.
I am trying to browse to my sharepoint site and click to open the .xlsx file and I get this error.
Below is the detailed error message:
Cannot create a connection to data source 'EntityDataSource'.Microsoft.AnalysisServices.SPClient
We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.
We cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.Microsoft.Office.Excel.Server.WebServicesWe cannot locate a server to load the workbook Data Model.
This question has been asked a couple times on the SharePoint SE site.
There is an MS support article from Microsoft that addresses this error. It suggests you do the following:
In the Application Management section of the Central Administration home page, click Manage service applications.
On the Manage Service Applications page, click the Excel Services service application that you want to configure.
On the Manage Excel Services page, click Data Model.
Click Add Server.
In the Server Name box, type the name of the Analysis Services instance that you want to add.
Click OK.
If that doesn't work, someone solved this problem by installing SQL Server 2012 SP1.
Someone else solved this issue by ensuring that the account used for Excel Services is an SSAS admin and then rebooting
Thank you #mmarie for the answers/comments.
I was able to partially resolve the issue by 're-installing' the Analysis services on my Sharepoint server. So it turns out I installed it the wrong way first. Followed this article to fix it.
Analysis services for SP 2013
I'm currently experiencing problem with the 'Data Refresh' within the Power Pivot/Power View reports. I have added my service account to the '"Act as part of the operating system" role on the Sharepoint server based on this article Data Refresh, however it did not resolve the issue.
Please let me know if anyone has any inputs.

SharePoint 2013 iFrame vs app

What is the difference between 1) an ASP.NET application exposed in SharePoint by an IFrame
and
2) a SharePoint 2013 App exposed through an app part.
Say both use CSOM and resides in intranet on a separate server (SharePoint App is provider hosted on a server in intranet ).
When you use iframe you have to face few issues:
No current SharePoint Context
No Out of the box SharePoint Security
It is harder to maintain
App approach (this approach is recommended by M$):
SharePoint Context available
SharePoint security available out of the box
App Part can be easily maintained (added, removed)

Want to create a approval workflow from window phone 7

we are integrating sharepoint 2010 with window phone 7.
we want to create a interface on phone using which we can create a approval workflow on sharepoint site.
Is there any inbuilt sharepoint web service available??
If not what other options we have....
if we try to create our own web service for this , than what should be the functionality of that web service
Your question is too broad but, yes, SharePoint has web services.
