Custom skins work correctly when playing online and logged into a Microsoft account.
However, when switching to offline mode or playing without an internet connection, the skin resets to the default Steve/Alex skin.
This issue happens consistently after going offline.
The selected custom skin is not retained and always reverts to the default Minecraft skin.
Expected result:
The selected custom skin should remain active and visible even when playing offline.
Device:
Samsung Galaxy A03
Android 13
Minecraft Bedrock version: 1.21.130
