The target view cannot be configured as a mobile view.

• [x] Bug

When deploying a template with a list view with parameters MobileView="TRUE" and Type="GRID" gives a ServerException.

If the MobileView is changed to "False" or the Type to "HTML" it works. Like

• MobileView="FALSE" and Type="GRID"
• MobileView="TRUE" and Type="HTML"

Is there any reason why this is not accepted?

Example

<View Name="{DAB0E315-6F4A-412C-9287-285F67B3B482}" MobileView="TRUE" Type="GRID" DisplayName="All Items" Url="{site}/Lists/Event Itinerary/All Items.aspx" Level="1" ContentTypeID="0x">
              <Query />
              <ViewFields>
                <FieldRef Name="LinkTitle" />
                <FieldRef Name="SessionCode" />
                <FieldRef Name="SessionType" />
                <FieldRef Name="Description" />
                <FieldRef Name="Speakers" />
                <FieldRef Name="StartDateAndTime" />
                <FieldRef Name="EndDateAndTime" />
                <FieldRef Name="Duration" />
                <FieldRef Name="Capacity" />
                <FieldRef Name="Location" />
                <FieldRef Name="Notes" />
              </ViewFields>
              <RowLimit Paged="TRUE">30</RowLimit>
              <CustomFormatter><![CDATA[

@PedroMordeP : this seems to be an issue coming via PnP Framework (as I see the provisioning engine code paths). This feels like a SharePoint issue and not an issue in the SDK's

Since the issue was coming from SharePoint server I thought to ask on the PnP.Core repository if someone already had this issue.

I marked it as a bug but what I really want to know is if is there anything I do to try to solve it.

At this moment o set the MobileView to "FALSE" just to deploy without the issue.

Thank you @jansenbe

@PedroMordeP I ended up following your suggestion of setting the 'MobileView' to 'FALSE', but it still gives an error: "The target view cannot be configured as a mobile view."

There is another property in the schema, 'MobileDefaultView', which was set to 'TRUE'. I had to set that one to 'FALSE' to deploy it successfully.

With this said, I changed both properties, 'MobileView' and 'MobileDefaultView', from 'TRUE' to 'FALSE'.
