 Description   

my wife plays mcpe on Lenovo Tab 3 - 850F to play mcpe. I updated to 1.05.54, now 1.1.0.9 and when i load the game and select a custom skin there is a black silhouette after you have browsed and chosen your picture.
As of note there is also a separate issue with XBox sign in as it prompts login each time MCPE is started... On my tablet which is a Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50 the images work fine. We have uninstalled the game after backing up worlds and delete the mcpe folder and rebooted the tablet.

I have the same problem as Auriel Hutchins Dukes on my minecraft pocket edition 1.13.0 on my ipad, please fix it, it says resolved but it isn't

Comment by Auriel Hutchins Dukes [ 02/Mar/19 ]

This problem is still not fixed. Even after the update it still says my “skin is invalid or corrupt” please fix 

Comment by Alexandra linton [ 12/Jan/19 ]

I love playing Minecraft but ever since I got the update I haven’t been able to play with the skins I choose which is really annoying.Can you please fix this bug.

Comment by Mattmacmsm [ 17/Oct/17 ]

I'm playing IOS Still can't fix it... 😕

Comment by asmad [ 21/Aug/17 ]

Not fixed. Problem persists even after the pocket edition update just a couple of days ago.

Comment by Fiona KIm [ 21/Aug/17 ]

With all due respect how this is resolved if people still get the same error for the skins in the Beta version of game?Beta.png today screen print with the version of the game on screen

Comment by BlazingBeam [ 18/Aug/17 ]

Yay! Fixed in 1.2.0.18 thank u mojang and microsoft!

Comment by Niclas Olofsson [ 14/Aug/17 ]

For JIRA search: Invalid or corrupt skin!

Comment by Wendy Boelens [ 11/Aug/17 ]

Same Problem

Comment by user-f5d8c (Inactive) [ 10/Aug/17 ]

Can (kinda) be fixed if using custom Skin Packs (if you know what those are)

Comment by MCMineTube [ 10/Aug/17 ]

It still have the same issue for me on MCPE v1.2.0.11

Comment by Nigel Patrick Clements [ 10/Aug/17 ]

This is still happening in 1.2.0.11 Custom Skin Bug

Comment by Chuck Smith [ 08/Aug/17 ]

Started happening to me since 1.2.0.7

Comment by Samantha Jewell [ 08/Aug/17 ]

hope this gets resolved soon, been using the Alex default since it occured

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 07/Aug/17 ]

Still affects beta build 3 (1.2.0.9)

Comment by Christopher Rodgers [ 07/Aug/17 ]

I think thats the problem with this game is because the developers have two versions it's fixed in the earlier versions but not fixed in this because this is a testing version.

Comment by Ian Lopez [ 05/Aug/17 ]

I dont know how to recreate it but i logged in once then my skin stopped working

Comment by Nevan John Thomas [ 05/Aug/17 ]

And you can't also change your skin in game and the skin button doesn't work

Comment by Nevan John Thomas [ 05/Aug/17 ]

I am having the same issue on windows 10

Comment by Ciaran Head [ 05/Aug/17 ]

me too i cant do roleplays with my cute skin until it's fixed on 1.2.0.7

here's my skin

cant believe i uninstalled the game and reinstalled it to see if it worked i lost all my worlds from it too even a horror map i was making HATE YOU, 1.2.0.7

Comment by Justmer Rivera [ 05/Aug/17 ]

me too, I can't select my skin or costum skin, it appears to be blank.

Comment by [MCPE Mod] Auldrick [ 04/Aug/17 ]

Same here, beta 1.2.0.7 broke it. I have always used this custom skin, and it worked fine up to now.

Comment by André Contreras [ 04/Aug/17 ]

Having the same issue... Also you can't play when the skin appears black. W10, 1.2.0.7

Comment by Lloyd Lewis [ 04/Aug/17 ]

I'm also having the same issue on Windows 10 with the beta 1.2.0.7

Comment by JarlPenguin [ 04/Aug/17 ]

This occurs as well on Windows 10 Edition.

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 04/Aug/17 ]

Affects 1.2.0.7, it appears custom skins that previously worked, now don't, and the model appears black.

When attempting to load a world with custom skin, it won't allow it, with the following message showing:

Comment by Christopher Rodgers [ 01/Aug/17 ]

This was fixed in 1.1.4 but now occurs on my tablet since the 1.2.0.2 update my skin appears black again. Cannot take a screenshot as minecraft would not let me.

Comment by asmad [ 21/Jul/17 ]

Putting the skins on internal storage does NOT work. My family uses several Kindle Fires. Custom skins work on some of them, but not all! And on some user profiles, but not all! I've tried using several DCIM folders on SD card and internal storage with no improvement.

Comment by The Running Geek [ 08/Jul/17 ]

Custom skins stopped working for me on my iPad Pro 12.9 after 1.1.3 with the same symptoms described above. I continue to get "Invalid Skin" error when loading the world.

Comment by Christopher Rodgers [ 14/May/17 ]

Saeri Choi your solution worked, however you should be able to save on SD card

Comment by Christopher Rodgers [ 13/May/17 ]

The Lenovo Tab 3 is different from the Tab 2, it uses secure storage in other words like fusing the internal memory with the SD card.

Comment by Saeri Choi [ 10/May/17 ]

I know how to fix it just go to your storage and change your mincraft pocket edition from sd card to internal storage that way you can choose any skin you want and the lag will be gone just be sure your mcpe(minecraft pocket edition) is on the internal storage not sd card storage

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 09/May/17 ]

Also affects 1.0.8.1 according to MCPE-21801

Comment by Christopher Rodgers [ 24/Apr/17 ]

Any news on this from Devs?
