Hi, on every login, my skin displays as the Steve skin even though I have my custom skin equipped. My custom skin is displayed fine in the character editor and is shown as equipped, however on every login I have to manually unequip and re-equip the custom skin otherwise it just shows as Steve on the menu screen and in game.

I can indeed confirm this as a bug on the Android version. The skin stays the same until the app is closed, then the selected skin reverts to the default Steve or Alex, thus I have to change the skin choice yet again to play as it in-game each time now and it doesn't save the skin. This is even occuring with the Minecraft Skin Pack 1 which is an official pack from Mojang.
Edit at 3:33 PM CST: I have also confirmed this as a problem on Xbox One.
