App Store Publication and Update Process - ios

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.

How to upload screenshots to AppStoreConnect

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?

Creating an iMessage App/Sticker App that Allows to Save Stickers, Xcode 9, Swift |&| Replacing an App with One on iTunes Connect

I want to create an iMessage app that allows the user to save stickers, so when a new release of the iMessage app comes out with entirely different stickers the user would be able to use the stickers from the previous version, and so on.
I would also like to know if you can replace an app on iTunes Connect with a different project than the original was built on.
eg.
create a game for iOS
a few months later, create the same game for iMessage and iOS but with a new project, and the identifications, profiles and certificates the same as the original.
Not sure if the community can help you with the first part of your question, because it depends on your implementation. Sure it's possible, but you won't be able to use the native UI within iMessage.
Secondary part of your question with regards to updating an app on iTunes Connect: You can always update an app if you use the same bundle ID (com.test.app) and make sure the version and build code are correct. (i.e. increasing) Besides that it does not matter what project / base you are using, if you correctly sign and build the IPA and upload it to iTunes Connect: https://help.apple.com/itunes-connect/developer/#/dev480217e79

Change screenshots in meta data of app in itunes

I am trying to change the screenshot of app published in itunes without creating new version of it?
When i log in to itunes and see my app meta data, I am not able to find edit option for screenshots.
I am new to mobile app as the current app was done by another developer.
Mine is web app not native mobile app.
If I create new version does it make users to log in again?
Should i upload the build again for the project?
I would like to know the impact of creating a new version like how long does it take to see the new screenshots.
You can't change screenshots of a live app, you need to create a new version. (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ReplacingYourAppWithANewVersion.html)
Officially web apps are not allowed on the store. Make sure your new version adheres to the store rules, specifically 4.2.
(https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#minimum-functionality)
If you replace an existing (native) app with a new web app, I'm 100% sure that users need to log in again.
Yes, you need to create a new version / build and upload it to iTunes Connect. Then you can upload new screenshots as well. After that, you can send the app to review, which usually takes 1-2 days.

iOS App it's not updated as it should

The app I'm developing has one screen with several icons, and those icons are shown accordingly to the information found in an plist that it's stored in an resources directory. I updated the plist in order to show a new icon and submitted a new version of the app. When the app gets updated on my device, it doesn't shows the new icon, but if I delete the app from the device and install it again from the app store, the new icon appears. What can be the source of this problem?
Thank you for the help,
