There seems to be quite a few threads like this popping up, I'm sure iFunBox does the trick though.

Take picture, drop into /var/mobile/applications/Minecraftpe(may be a random number name)/minecraftpe.app
That's it, nothing complex, here is the soartex pack that I use

Unfortunately, cannot make changes to files with either ifunbox or iexplorer on ios6 . You can still edit level.dat and post back to ios6 but cannot change char or texture pack. Ios6 won't allow changes in the minecraftpe.app file. Apple must have tweaked becuse you could install some types of cracked or pirated apps without going thru signature process or iTunes with iexplorer... Shame we can't mod a program that is legitimately purchased..... If any one has an answer...please post. NOTE: 2.0 beta for ifunbox and iexplorer 3.0 do not work either...

I did this on an A4 device, maybe that is why it worked, I don't know

Yes but it is only for A4 devices and is tethered, unfortunately it does not work for me which is why I can't mod >.<

You do realize that the OP was posted roughly 1/2 of a year ago? I doubt that he will still be looking for a solution after this much time has passed.

The OP may have found a solution, but other members confronted with the same issue may not have.

Funny, I've tried to change my skin using iExplorer for quite some time now. I never thought it was the iOS 6 thing (as I had it updated long before I used iExplorer). Though I can still import maps into my Minecraft PE app via iExplorer, I cannot put a skin in (everytime I try it never overwrites the char.png file). Anyways, I might give iFunbox a try, or wait for Mojang to release an update that let's users import their skins into the app, which is rumored to be in 0.8.0 or later.

I just tried that. When I tried to install it, it said "error installing app". I then tried it again on iTunes, and it said that it couldn't be installed because it is an invalid app. Did Apple tweak something on this, too?

It probably means that the Mojang or Apple (most likely) had installed restrictions on the app that prevented you from modifying the .ipa contents. And plus, the .ipa that you compressed probably is unlicensed by Apple, therefore it prevent a user from installing the app.

That's my guess, unless you completely messed up a few things or forgot a few files.
