You can have a prototype page for a game that doesn't have its own article yet. Whether or not there's a main article doesn't matter.
As for Boom Beach itself, you could try researching and if you find a credible source telling you that there's something there, put it on the Content to Expand page. |

I'd argue yes, since we have a ton of 3DS revision stuff already. Super Smash Bros. on the 3DS has a downloadable update that adds a feature, so the iOS stuff is pretty similar in nature.

So we should only cover revisions of iOS games that came out on cartridges? [/sarcasm]

Bit conflicted. It's like a grey area because TCRF typically covers revisional differences of released games (on whatever medium they were delivered). Nintendo has rolled downloadable updates into later cartridge releases (as was the case with Mario Kart 7). I can't say if this was done for games like Style Savvy Trendsetters or M&L Dream Team.
A few pages I've read (like Dream Team and Pokemon X/Y) are change logs. It's a good outline to start understanding Nintendo's patching system, do they add placeholders for future updates, etc.
Then it becomes a debate on whether content included, but not used, will be available in future updates. Then I start thinking of games like Team Fortress II on Steam. I think there may have been instances were assets were included, removed, and then eventually patched back in and used.
Some aspects make games almost "alive" ... hate making TCRF sound like an obituary. I guess the worst thing to be is speculative and articles should be corrected if changed.
Given the nature of 3DS updates ... they're only a handful. iOS games get updates for circumstances like newer devices and versions of iOS, which may or may not include changes to assets.
Just to answer the OP's original question. If the game's free or have downloaded the .IPA file, renaming them to .ZIP and extracting them should produce some results. There also should be applications available to see and modify the user directory of your device (unless Apple's closed that in newer iOS revisions). I used to do that on my non-jailbroken iPhone to get modified gamesaves on my device (like Sonic CD and GTA series). |

Maybe TCRF should start taking into account this kind of updates separately? Like, don't put them in the main articles because they may not be significant, but still keep track of them in case that in the future some of these updates end up being proven important (and then can be added to the main article). It'd be needed to be actively keeping track of those changes since otherwise we'd be unable to roll back to them.
Sadly, with nearly every game doing that now, it seems to be impractical. |
