I just saw a developer claim that the App Store will no longer accept 32-bit builds. Which presumably means we won’t be able to submit universal.

I had wanted to continue to support our few remaining iPad 2 customers, but it sounds like that won’t be possible.

I haven’t had any luck finding any official statement about this. I’ve been using Xcode 13.1 and it still lets me target iOS 9…

As you found, deploying to iOS 9 and iOS 10 is still supported, both of which require the armv7 32-bit architecture. What you probably saw was commentary regarding 64-bit builds being required, but that requirement does not mean you can't ship 32-bit builds if you're still targeting one of the older iOS versions that supports 32-bit devices.
