From advice from many af the Microsoft/Minecraft reps I've spoken to, I paid for reals to have an online back up in stead of relying on sync. This has failed after a day as well: it does not seem to access saved progress; I played for a couple of hours yesterday - there are backups - but when I logged in it went back to the save I originally uploaded from PC. I tried downloading and uploading one of the backups and now my game just crashes.
Just to try one other suggestion; I made a new world and after a day this happened again.
With the 1.21.15 update I wasn't able to make any new purchases unless I logged into Xbox Live. It wouldn't let me purchase the free legacy skin pack. It just said to check my internet connection. Never asked for an Apple ID. I restarted everything. When I logged into Xbox I could make new purchases and it asked for my Apple ID.
I've lost a few purchases and coins that were made using only the Apple ID (logged out of Xbox Live). I tried to restore while logged out of Xbox Live and also while logged in. Nothing has restored yet.
It is definitely something to do with sync on xbox only.
I used realms for a while and all was working fine (except certain resource packs) but as soon as I was back on the xbox; the game says "fail to sync" but then continues. Then after any hard reset, the world is greyed out again.
Realms and hard back ups are the only sure solution but this shouldn't be the case.
