Do I need to support iPhone X if I want to use iOS 11 SDK and Xcode 9?

I want to keep my 2-4 week release cycle and I would like to migrate to Xcode 9 first and then start work on the iPhone X support. iPhone X requires a lot of changes (4+ weeks for my app). I am using XIB as launch screen file. I know that switching to launch images will result in black bars on the iPhone X. My main questions are:


1. If I use launch images to avoid supporting iPhone X will my app get rejected?

2. Is there a way to still use launch screen XIB without providing supporting iPhone X?

1. I used launch images and everything is fine, the app on iPhone X is in letterbox mode

2. I found no way of using launch screen XIB without supporting full resolution of iPhone X.
