Apple has never announced the detailed plan of releasing new iOS, so we need to watch how it happened to be in recent years.

Generally, Apple released a GM version (can be GM seed or GM candidate) of the new Xcode, about a week (maybe weeks, or days) before the planned release date of the new iOS. With announcement that you developers could submit your apps built with it.

So, your plan should be:

Develop your app wth widget using the beta version of Xcode. It needs to be in the final stage of development before the GM version of Xcode.
When the GM version of the new Xcode is released, build & test your app as soon as possible using it.
Archive your app and submit it to the Review.

If you are lucky enough, your app will be approved before the day one of iOS 14 and will be on the App Store on the day one.
