My App Store question doesn’t seem to be answered clearly in the official guidelines document so here you go.

My app is developed for iOS8, its deployment target is 8.1. We would like to have it reviewed around next week.

Now there is the iOS9 version coming up. Will I be able to upload our binary to itunesconnect without any change? Will we have to compile with a newer SDK to pass the review process? Will I need to install a new version of Xcode do be able to upload a binary?

We would like to submit the app as is, without touching anything. (same situation as if it had been release 3 weeks ago) Is that possible? Thanks

Will I be able to upload our binary to itunesconnect without any change?

Yes. Apple will not require that you build your app against the latest SDK. Will you have problems with folks running iOS 9? Maybe?

Will we have to compile with a newer SDK to pass the review process?

No.

Will I need to install a new version of Xcode do be able to upload a binary?

No.

Yes.
