Does Apple accept Xcode14 builds with bitcode enabled? Has anyone submitted it and gotten approval after the deprecation of bitcode in Xcode14? I saw that it is mentioned that it's not accepted need to know if they are giving a buffer to us because of the tremendous app size increase(~80% in my case).

No, and the document you linked answers your question pretty clearly (emphasis mine):
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.
Xcode no longer builds bitcode by default and generates a warning message if a project explicitly enables bitcode: “Building with bitcode is deprecated. Please update your project and/or target settings to disable bitcode.” The capability to build with bitcode will be removed in a future Xcode release. IPAs that contain bitcode will have the bitcode stripped before being submitted to the App Store. Debug symbols can only be downloaded from App Store Connect / TestFlight for existing bitcode submissions and are no longer available for submissions made with Xcode 14. (86118779)

Ya I was wondering if this has been mandated or since it's still in it's early stage they accept submissions with bitcode for now. – Keer Nov 04 '22 at 11:46

Judging by Apple’s word choice, it’s clear to me that this restriction is already in place and that they are no longer accepting IPAs from Xcode 14 which include bitcode. – esqew Nov 04 '22 at 15:25
