I just ran an experiment on my iPhone, and with the UMC plugged into the car, I found no way to get the "open charge port" button to display. In its place was either "stop charging" or "start charging". In order to get the UMC out, I had to unlock the car, but that can also be done from the mobile app, on a different screen.
"Open Charge Port" is only displayed on the remote app when nothing is connected to it.. Why would you need to open it, if you already have a cable plugged in?
When I disconnect my J-1772 handle from the adapter when done, the car then releases the locking pin and you can remove the J-1772 adapter from the charge port, no need to go into the car.
BTW, with the UMC you should be able to press the button on the handle to release the locking pin.
