I have submitted my app for review and I am trying to modify some of the already uploaded screenshots in my app, however, I do not see an option to remove nor add new images:
Existing answers say I should see a button named "Choose file", but as you can see it is not available.
I have tried going to the TestFlight build to see if options open up, but nothing is there. The app Ready for Sale app shows the same view as in the image above.
I do not have access to the old screenshots and only want to to update some, so using my fastlane script does not work because it would remove screenshots I'd like to keep.
Any idea how to upload screenshots from the App Store Connect UI?

As the Product Page Optimization option is now available in the App Store Connect, I thought to try it out.
So I have created a test to try different App Icons.
I have followed these steps to create a test and treatments for product page optimization,
https://help.apple.com/app-store-connect/#/dev811bef199
But there I am unable to see the option to change the App Icon for different treatments.
There I can only see the screenshots, as you can see in the attached SS.
Please let me know how can I get the option to change the App Icon for different treatments for Product Page Optimization.
Your app binary must contain alternative icons, before you can use them in the Product Page Optimization page.
The simplest way to add alternative icons to your app is to add them in the Assets file of your app together with the Include All App Icon Assets build setting. It's important that each icon also include a large 1024pt file.

An iOS app is supposed to remove all data when a user logs out of the app. This has been completed, but I am looking for a way to verify that there is no data left over in the app (SQLite, user preferences, etc.)
I cannot figure out how IO can link to the app from Xcode (or from somewhere else and "look" into the app after a user logs out and confirm that all data is gone.

You can download the directory that contains all the app's data:
Open the Devices and Simulators window in Xcode and connect to the device you want to examine.
You'll see a list of the apps that you've installed on the device. Find the one you're testing in the list and click on it.
Click the gear icon at the bottom of the list and choose Download Container....
Xcode will download a bundle named something like com.your.identifier 2018-12-17 14/18.28.448.xcappdata.
Find the downloaded bundle (you can choose where Xcode puts it) and control-click on it. Choose Show Package Contents. Finder will open a window showing you everything in the app's container.
In addition to just looking at the app container, you can also modify the container and install it on a device. This can be useful for testing. For example, you could modify or delete an important data file from the container and install it on a test device to test that your app gracefully handles an error situation. Or, if someone testing your app runs into a problem you can't reproduce, you can get a copy of the app container from them and install it on your own device.
I have following conditions:
We want to change app icon and add screenshots. Can it be done without upload new binary?
Currently no screenshots under 5.5" and 4.7" display when we want to upload new version of app. Do we need to upload screenshots prior to Submit for Review?
App screenshots (device/size doesn't matter), app previews and app icons can only be changed with a new version/binary of your app.

I create an app for distribution with ad-hoc, but when i drop it into iTunes there is no image. Then we i drop the app to the device there is still now image. I must be missing a step somewhere.
I have the images in the correct places with Xcode, but still no dice.
UPDATE
This is in reponse to Sergio
I would suggest checking that the .plist file in your project has got the correct settings for the app icon. E.g. (image)
Keep also in mind that on one occasion at least I had the experience of the app icon not showing and the only thing I could come up with was the fact that the icon had a custom name (e.g. myapp-icon). reverting the icon name to "Icon.png" everything went ok.
I have an application in the "Prepare for Upload" state in iTunes Connect (ITC). I had initially setup ITC with provisional information, and was ready to upload final info, such as the high resolution icon, category selection, copyright statement, etc.
ITC allowed me to make all these changes, but when I clicked the Save button and went back to the previous screen, it showed the old icon and old information. I tried this several times with the same unsuccessful result.
I also contacted Apple's ITC support, but they sort of gave me the runaround and didn't offer any clear answer.
Fortunately I found a workaround. The icon file I had been uploading was a PNG file named "iTunesArtwork" with no extension, named as you have to name it to embed it in the bundle. On a hunch, I gave that image file a ".png" extension and updated in ITC again. This time the update took, and I was able to submit my app with everything set up exactly as desired.
So was the file extension really the trick? shrug It seemed like it to me based on the number of times I re-tried this, but it may also have been a change on Apple's side, so I can't guarantee this will work for you.
