Swift Data App Runs on iOS 17 but Fails on iOS 16: Submission Eligibility?

Hi, I'm using SwiftData in my app with the @available(iOS 17.0, *) annotation. It runs perfectly on iOS 17, but I encounter a weird memory error I can't seem to solve on iOS 16. Can I still submit my app, or will it be disqualified for not running on iOS 16? Thanks!
