MCPE-71033Only the primary PS4s XUID is being used, secondary users don't show connection
After upgrading to 1.14.60, we are having an issue where the secondary PS4 user in split screen users doesn't carry over their XUID. Users can swap who launched Minecraft and that person gets carried over.
The secondary user, when they sign into the PS4, they don't get show up as connecting to the server and their XUID doesn't show up. When they disconnect it lists their proper name but no XUID.
Once the user is on the server, they have all of their equipment but their name shows as Steve.

I believe that MCPE-71033 is related, except that that issue describes the problem more directly.
The data that's being sent from the client to the server is incomplete.
The second player on the server shows no connected message. When they connect it shows their name as Steve in game.
When they disconnect their proper name shows up but their XUID does not show up.
This is different from the other post where the online-mode was set to false.
In the BDS, server.properties, online-mode=true
Same thing happens on Nintendo Switch. The account that launches Minecraft will have their name show up on a Realm they connect to. A second player will show up as Steve (in name & skin).
Is this still an issue in the latest version?
This is still a problem in March 2023.
This issue has been confirmed to be an issue at least from 1.14.60 - 1.20.50.
We'll try to confirm it for 1.20.60 in the near future, but I don't expect it to be fixed suddenly after those years.
This bug actively prevents us from implementing split screen support, because we have no idea who the person is that joins (by just their identity.)
This is the payload for 1.20.50:
As you can see, the xuid does not have a value.
It has been confirmed to still be an issue on 1.20.60
When I reproduced this issue, I can see mentioned previously that we get:
The displayName sent for the secondary user is always the console username rather than bedrock username.
If you close Minecraft and switch which user is the primary user, the second user (i.e the second player), still sends the console username rather than the bedrock username.
I can confirm this is still an issue on PS5 with MC version 1.21.50 - the client doesn't send an XUID for the second player as previously mentioned (the game hangs). I should note it does work on Realms for whatever that's worth. Would be fantastic to get this fixed!
I can confirm this is still an issue on Nintendo Switch too.
