Sorry, i meant 0.15.2

Rylankay Please do not add an unreleased version of MC:PE. At this moment, 0.15.3 is not released for iOS yet.

Rylankay Could you please check and add the correct version of the game that this affects: Unless I'm mistaken, 0.15.3 hasn't been added to iOS devices yet.

Even though Rylankay's problem is solved by saving the image directly with his iPad, there still seems to be a bug regarding the alpha channel as described by DrAwesome4333. So I keep the ticket open until the bug gets fixed.

Never mind, for some reason, when I was exporting my skin from my MacBook to my iPad, the transparency didn't keep. By going to this website on my iPad and saving the image directly onto it, my skin did not become corrupted, and worked.
In short, this was nothing to do with Minecraft. It can be resolved now.

Ok, Try this file.

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Dr.Awesome4333 [ 26/Jul/16 ]

Well in PNG files there is 4 channels. Red, Green,Blue, and Alpha (transparency). When a pixel is 100% Transparent the Alpha channel is set to 0 but the other channels still have information describing the color of a Pixel. Right now it seems those are describing the white color RGB(255,255,255). When I mean transparent black I mean take the transparent color to black RGB (0,0,0). . I will see what I can do to get this for you and see if that fixes it. My reasoning on why this may fix it is that the shaders (the code that renders the pixels)between iOS and Android may be different and handle transparency differently.

Hmm... strange. What do you mean by 'black transparent'?

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Dr.Awesome4333 [ 25/Jul/16 ]

I downloaded your skin and it works perfectly for me on Android 0.15.3. And the white is indeed transparent. Maybe try opening this up in a photo editor and make it black transparent instead?
