Thanks to all of you who voiced your support for OpenSpark. I have decided to continue working on the program, and am doing so already.

As to how the application will be distributed in the future (as a continuation of the current free project, or as a new proprietary project), I’m not completely certain yet. Keeping a project like OS is time-consuming, and the latest change in the site’s operation is a reminder of how months of development can be made worthless overnight.

As anticipated, OpenSpark is now officially broken, due to the considerable redesign of the XBox Live website. I have removed the app from the Android Market, and added a warning to the project page.

At the moment, I have no idea when, and even if this will be fixed. Thanks for your patience.

Joystiq has reported that XBox.com is expected to undergo a makeover tonight/tomorrow. Please note that if the changes are substantial enough (and from the look of the screen caps, they seem to be), Spark may be rendered useless for the foreseeable future.

Until Spark is updated to work with the new site, it may be rendered inoperative in parts, or as a whole. If that happens, the application will be taken off Android Marketplace until it’s fixed.
