Itunes connect says

Submit your builds using Xcode 6 or later, or Application Loader 3.0 or later.

So it is safe to say that you can definitely go with Xcode 7.x and Swift 2.2

You can submit your app developed on Xcode 7.x without upgrading xcode. Its not compulsory to use Swift 3.0 - You can submit app even if its developed with 2.x. At the end your ipa will have binary code after compilation.

But keep in mind few things:

  • There are few APIs which are deprecated. You will have to remove these in future version anyhow.
  • Your app must be compatible with 64 bit.

So Its not compulsory, but advisable to upgrade to latest xcode. But if you are in hurry, you can push current version on appstore and take time to make app working with latest Xcode.
