There is an outage on XBOX live (https://beta.support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status) which I guess is causing this issue. I see multiple tickets today with this same problem.
I found a way to get back into the game on my iPad Pro which I hope helps others. It involves deleting a couple of files on the iPad with the help of iTunes:
1) For good measure, make sure Minecraft is not running in the background (close it completely).
2) Connect the iPad to your Computer and open it on iTunes (small device icon close to the top left)
3) Go to File Sharing. Find Minecraft.
4) Just to be cautious, select all folders and files ("games", "internal", "prodConfig.ppcrl", and "XBLStoage.json"), then scroll down and click on SAVE. This will allow you to make a backup copy on your computer. the "games" folde has your worlds and the "internal" folder has skins and packs.
5) Now select ONLY the files called "prodConfig.ppcrl" and "XBLStoage.json", click your DELETE key and delete them. (Don't worry–the app will regenerate these files later and you backed them up just in case.)
*Note: previous threads already shared the solution of deleting "XBLStoage.json". This worked for me in the past when I had made an update to my child's Microsoft account. Today, however, this alone did not work. I had to also delete "prodConfig.ppcrl" and follow the next step.*
6) Next, go to SETTINGS on the iPad and turn on Airplane mode.
**Note: There are open related bugs (such as
MCPE-33316) where iPads freeze on startup if Wifi/Cell is off. For me today, deleting "prodConfig.ppcrl"helped me circumvent this problem.7) Now open the Minecraft app. Hit ok (to ignore) any iPad messages about turning on Wifi. It should load and no longer be signed into Microsoft. It will give some error warnings about resources failing to load profiles but you can ignore them.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOG INTO YOUR MICROSOFT ACCOUNT JUST YET. It will freeze and you will need to restart the entire process above. I guess we must all wait for the XBOX Live outage to be fixed before we attempt to log back in. Check status here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status.
8) You can turn off Airplane mode on the iPad if you like.
You should now be able to play the game locally (not logged into Microsoft). If you have not disconnected the iPad from iTunes you will see that the "prodConfig.ppcrl" is automatically recreated once the game loads. The file "XBLStoage.json" will automatically be created once you attempt to log back into Microsoft.
I hope this helps others! If anyone finds out more please share.
I've never been able to open the game on my iPad Pro without Wifi if I had previously had been signed into the Microsoft Account. During today's outage of Microsoft XBOX Live I was able to get back into the game in Airplane mode (without wifi) by following these steps. This is a band aid workaround as it requires a computer with iTunes, which users don't typically have handy when traveling and trying to play on a plane, for example. This issue requires a permanent fix from Mojang. Still, I hope this helps someone who like us today just wants to be able to continue building their world and doesn't need online play.
*Note: In the past I've been able to use the solution presented in other threads to simply delete the "XBLStoage.json" file when the Xbox child profile was updated on the Microsoft website and the iPad wouldn't sign back in automatically. Today, however,I had to also delete "prodConfig.ppcrl". See below.*
1) For good measure, make sure Minecraft is not running in the background (close it completely).
2) Connect the iPad to your Computer and open it on iTunes (small device icon close to the top left)
3) Go to File Sharing. Find Minecraft.
4) Just to be cautious, select all folders and files ("games", "internal", "prodConfig.ppcrl", and "XBLStoage.json"), then scroll down and click on SAVE. This will allow you to make a backup copy on your computer. the "games" folde has your worlds and the "internal" folder has skins and packs.
5) Now select ONLY the files called "prodConfig.ppcrl" and "XBLStoage.json", click your DELETE key and delete them. (Don't worry–the app will regenerate these files later and you backed them up just in case.)
6) Next, go to SETTINGS on the iPad and turn on Airplane mode if you haven't already.
7) Now open the Minecraft app. Hit ok (to ignore) any iPad messages about turning on Wifi. It should load and no longer be signed into Microsoft. It will give some error warnings about resources failing to load profiles but you can ignore them.
Hopefully you are back in the game logged out of Microsoft and can play offline. If you have not disconnected the iPad from iTunes you will see that the "prodConfig.ppcrl" is automatically recreated once the game loads. The file "XBLStoage.json" will automatically be created once you attempt to log back into Microsoft. Don't try it until you are back online. though!

Markus, just FYI there is an XBox outage today which I think is preventing a lot of users from loading Minecraft on iOS and logging into Xbox.

I found a way to get back into the game on my iPad Pro which I hope helps others. It involves deleting a couple of files on the iPad with the help of iTunes:
1) For good measure, make sure Minecraft is not running in the background (close it completely).
2) Connect the iPad to your Computer and open it on iTunes (small device icon close to the top left)
3) Go to File Sharing. Find Minecraft.
4) Just to be cautious, select all folders and files ("games", "internal", "prodConfig.ppcrl", and "XBLStoage.json"), then scroll down and click on SAVE. This will allow you to make a backup copy on your computer. the "games" folde has your worlds and the "internal" folder has skins and packs.
5) Now select ONLY the files called "prodConfig.ppcrl" and "XBLStoage.json", click your DELETE key and delete them. (Don't worry–the app will regenerate these files later and you backed them up just in case.)
*Note: previous threads already shared the solution of deleting "XBLStoage.json". This worked for me in the past when I had made an update to my child's Microsoft account. Today, however, this alone did not work. I had to also delete "prodConfig.ppcrl" and follow the next step.*
6) Next, go to SETTINGS on the iPad and turn on Airplane mode.
*Note: There are open related bugs (such as
MCPE-33316) where iPads freeze on startup if Wifi/Cell is off. For me today, deleting "prodConfig.ppcrl"helped me circumvent this problem.*7) Now open the Minecraft app. Hit ok (to ignore) any iPad messages about turning on Wifi. It should load and no longer be signed into Microsoft. It will give some error warnings about resources failing to load profiles but you can ignore them.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOG INTO YOUR MICROSOFT ACCOUNT JUST YET. It will freeze and you will need to restart the entire process above. Even though the XBox Live Outage has been reported as resolved, my iPad game is freezing if I try to log back in. Perhaps something else must be fixed on XBOX or Mojang's side for the logins to work again. Xbox status can be found here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status.
8) You can turn off Airplane mode on the iPad if you like.
You should now be able to play the game locally (not logged into Microsoft). If you have not disconnected the iPad from iTunes you will see that the "prodConfig.ppcrl" is automatically recreated once the game loads. The file "XBLStoage.json" will automatically be created once you attempt to log back into Microsoft.
I hope this helps others! If anyone finds out more please share.
There was an outage earlier today on XBOX live (https://beta.support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status) which maybe was causing this issue. I see multiple tickets today with this same problem.

UPDATE: It's a known issue and they are working on it: https://twitter.com/MojangStatus/status/1218612836521455621
I moved my comment to
MCPE-61689. Thanks OcelotOnesie.Hugo–I am able to play offline after following the steps above. Are you able to play offline? Note that if I try to log int Xbox Live from the game it will crash again and I have to follow all of the steps above once again.
UPDATE: Microsoft Live reports the Outage has ben fixed, but I still cannot log into my Microsoft account. If I try the game freezes and won't load again unless I follows the steps I outlined above all over again.
So I can play offline but I'm not able to log in yet. Hopefully Mojang and Microsoft are working to fix this.

@Seeme Bee In my iPad, Minecraft won't load without WiFi on unless I follow the steps above which I discovered today. Once I am in the app after following the steps then I can turn on WiFi.
@violine1101 I do not have an XBox App on my iPad nor a section in iOS Settings. Should I?
@ChrisDenesha Glad I could help and return the favor for the many times others in this forum have helped me!
