 Description   

I recently updated my Minecraft pocket edition to 0.13.1 . Every time I join a server, it tells me that every skin is invalid, including Steve and Alex.
Promptly after I had updated, I changed my skin using an app called 'skin seed' . I was going to go on my favourite server which is 'hypixel' and play on my favourite game; 'Survival games'.
Now when I try to join, it tells me 'skin invalid' , which is prohibiting me from playing my favourite game ever!!!
I'd also like to add that none of the versions are available where you select them so I clicked a random one.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update Minecraft pocket edition to 0.13.1
2. ... Change skin
3. ... Go onto a server

No longer occuring, assuming that it was a cross-version compatibility issue.

It says iPhone 1st gen. I don't think that device is supported...

I have an iPad 2 with iOS 9.2 and Minecraft PE 0.13.1. My Dad is running Windows 10 on his laptop with Minecraft 0.13.0

He tried logging into my world and received the Invalid or Corrupt Skin error. Changed his skin to Steve and was able to log in, but my custom skin was solid black to him.

I tried logging into his world but no skin (custom, Steve, Alex, or any of the free ones) could get me beyond the error message.

Same issue iPhone 6+, iPad 2, iPad 3, Kindle Fire, all four devices simultaneously affected, get "invalid or corrupt skin" when trying to join game on LAN. Completely un-modified install on all devices.

iPhone 5c, iOS 8.4
Same issue.
Also skins (custom skins) that should support diffrerent arms on left/right show purely black, also on local multiplayer

Looks like the server I was trying to updated to 0.13.1 and im no longer having issues.

I've tested on iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPhone 6+. They all are running 0.13.1 and I believe trying to connect to a 0.13.0 server?

No custom skins or anything. This is brand new installs on all devices.

Edit: The error I get is: Invalid or Corrupt Skin!

Confirmed to affect 0.13.1 on iPhone 6+ (iOS 9.1). This also occurs for 0.13.1 to 0.13.0 (and vice versa) clients on LAN, likely to be a lack of version compatibility. 0.13.1 to 0.13.1 clients can join, play with, and be seen properly by the host.
