Version 3.0.1 adds a workaround to force the app to accept the new Minecraft skin format which also “allows the legacy Minecraft skin format to be used within the app without any errors being produced,” according to the release notes. So it’s all smooth sailing from here if you update.

If you’re new to the app, Minecraft Skin Studio lets you design your own Minecraft skins and upload them to your Minecraft game, or share them with others for total bragging rights.

To download Minecraft Skin Studio, it costs three bucks in the States and €2.69 in Europe. The app requires only iOS 5 to run, meaning most iDevices are supported.
