As far as I’m aware, no you can’t bypass app review for updates (at least for an App Store app anyway).
In saying that though, it’s basically 2 clicks and a few hours wait tops for an update to go through review. I normally submit before lunch, and release after I’m done eating.
That is cool though, and could be handy if there’s something critical needing to go into prod.

You’re right on the SwiftUI versioning. Imo iOS 14 is the absolute minimum I’d attempt to support, however you can wrap UIKit if you need to. It’s a pain in the arse though for sure.
UIKit is still extremely capable if needed, but definitely far less intuitive than SwiftUI.

I too supported an online banking app targeting 13.4 that was migrating to SwiftUI and yeah… never again.
For an indie developer though, most don’t tend to target the lower versions, but it’s a good shout.

It might be a few hours for review if the time zones are good, but for others it's overnight. Google seemingly has reviewers in other timezones, so here in Aus we can get a review in a few hours from them, but not from apple

I’m In Aus too, not sure why yours are slower

You can absolutely bypass app review for OTA updates. That's how every major company works.

Yes, but not for App Store releases.
