[MCPE-142136] Skin reverts to previously equipped skin when equipping certain skins from skin packs

When I equip a skin from a skin pack that I’ve upload to minecraft from an app or a website it unequips the skin and changes it to one from the minecart character creator.

Steps to Reproduce:

Download and import

[media]

Equip the first skin in the skin pack
Exit the classic skins menu

Observed Results:
The skin reverts to the previously equipped skin.

Expected Results:
The skin should remain equipped.

Video:

Cause:
This is caused by the skin's localization name in skins.json consisting only of numbers. To workaround the issue, open skins.json in your skin pack, locate the affected skin(s), and add a letter to the localization name. This should allow you to equip the skin.

Could you attach the skin pack to this ticket?

I’m not sure how to do that, but I’ve uploaded a few different skin packs and they all don’t seem to work. They’re all from an app called Skinseed, if that helps.

I found a skin pack that reproduces the issue. I've updated the description.

I have noticed that it only is happening on my Windows 10 version. Each version is paid for and for windows I have un-installed and re-installed it a few times with no luck

No longer supplies an "Equip skin" button (or anything that should be in the UI widget itself), the UI element remains blank.

This issue also affects version 1.18.12.

The "Equip" button no longer showing for custom skin packs is a different issue that is being tracked at MCPE-152216.

I too am having this issue. My skins won’t save or they will turn into a Steve or an Alex after pressing Equip. I never had the Equip button ever disappear though. This is happening on the Xbox One S also.
