I believe we have this same problem. (IPad, MCPE.)
I got it working again-- briefly-- when I deleted XBLStoage.json, and restarted the Minecraft app. This was a huge relief. The app was no longer logged in to the XBox account, but finally-- after months-- MCPE was at least able to get into all the worlds without hanging. However, as soon as we logged back in to XBox account, the same hang-on-load started happening again.
I tried a number of manipulations, like installing the XBox app to log in to the XBox account, logging in via xbox.com on Safari, etc. But any way we log in to my kid's account, the app hangs on load. The only way I seem to be able to avoid the hang-on-load is if the XBox account is not signed in in the app, or the XBox app, or Safari, and thus is not known to Minecraft.
Is there anything account-specific that needs to be fixed, to make a given XBox account OK to use again with Minecraft? Is there something wrong with the account itself? Do we need to just create a new XBox account-- would we expect it to work again if we did that?
PS, one oddity with this. My kid has always said when using the iPad / Minecraft at a friend's house-- on their wifi instead of ours-- it's always worked, whereas at home it hasn't. I have no idea what to make of that.
