IBM Worklight - "getSkinName is not defined" - ibm-mobilefirst

Question

I am trying to define a new android.tablet skin. I am testing with a Nexus 7 running KitKat.
I did this:
Added the Skin
updated getSkinName() function
I can see in LogCat the function getSkinName() being called
However, there is a confusing message:
"default" skin will be used, because skin named android.tablet was not
found. Add a skin or change android/js/skinLoader.js to return
existing skin.
Am I missing something?

Looks like you're right, Worklight Skins fail to load - at least on the first load of the application; if you load it a second time, it does work.
I've opened a defect for this issue.
If you are an IBM business partner or customer, please open a PMR so that once fixed you'll be able to receive this in the form of an iFix release.
Here's what I've done:
Created a new project and application
Added the Android environment
Added an application skin, android.skin, to the Android environment
Added a main.css to my-app\android.skin\css with body {background-color:red}
Changed getSkinName() in my-app\android\js\skinLoader.js' to return "android.skin"
Run As > Run on Worklight Development Server
Run As > Android application
The first load indeed loads the "default" skin instead of "android.skin". The second time I loaded the app (from the device, not by re-installing the app), it did load the "android.skin"...
So anyway, there's a defect. But you can continue developing your application albeit in a somewhat inconvenient way...
