How can I separate PCB antenna and SMA connector?

I am designing a prototype PCB for a Lora node. It will have an SMA connector (J2) and a PCB antenna. Switching RF connectors are not available in my area, so as an amateur enthusiast what is a good way to separate the antennas?

They usually put a 3-pad solder jump.

The central pad is connected to the LORA integrated circuit.
The left pad is connected to your SMA connector.
The right pad is connected to the printed antenna.

What are possible solutions to PCB warpage problems?

My PCB manufacturer just informed me that he is facing PCB warpage issue in my simple, single sided, copper poured PCB. He says to avoid this issue he suggests to add a dummy copper patch by keeping 3mm copper clearance from all sides. Can somebody tell me what leads to this issue and what are possible solutions to this problem ?

Is it true that PCB antennas can be tuned by only changing their length?

My PCB antennas fail to achieve resonance, though I have changed their length. Our new product project is obstructed due to this problem now. Are there any good solution else?
