Custom saved skins do not load when playing offline

When playing Minecraft Bedrock in offline mode (without internet), the custom skins saved in the skin bar do not load. I added my skins normally and they work perfectly when I’m online, but as soon as the game is offline, the skins disappear and I can’t use any of the ones I saved.

The game forces me to use the default skins while offline. This problem did not happen before and makes the offline experience very bad.

Steps to reproduce:

Add a custom skin to the skin bar

Close the game

Disable Wi-Fi and mobile data (offline mode)

Open the game again

Saved skins do not load

Expected result:

Custom skins saved in the skin bar should load normally even without an internet connection.

Actual result:

Skins only work when the game is online. Offline, all saved skins fail to load.
