watch apps without bitcode with Xcode 13

From the Xcode 14 release notes:

Starting with Xcode 14, bitcode is no longer required for watchOS and tvOS applications, and the App Store no longer accepts bitcode submissions from Xcode 14.

Is this a general relaxing of the checks that are done when submitting an app with any Xcode version? Or is this only allowed for apps created with Xcode 14+? Can you submit a watch app without bitcode built with Xcode 13? altool seems to think that this is indeed valid, but is this something that would cause rejection later in the app review process?

  • Update: got confirmation elsewhere that you must be on >= Xcode 14 to disable bitcode for watchOS / tvOS apps
