There is a package mathastext you may try.

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{euler}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setromanfont{Chalkboard}
% Sepcify the font first!
\usepackage{mathastext}
% Use it for math

\begin{document}

Normal text
\begin{equation}
\cos\pi = -1
\end{equation}
\end{document}

It is clear that I will never be able to use XITS Math or Asana Math on my Ipad or iPhone, if my presentations are in Keynote format.

Not as your main document font.
The equations are imported as pdf and include the math fonts.

Are you implying that the LaTeXit preamble still causes problems on one of your computers?

The following is as close as I can get it without further investigation.
