Will Apple reject app if app submit with Enable_Bitcode = No

My app has a lot of third party libraries and social plugging that are not available in bitcode yet. So I can't compile my app with the allow Enable_Bitcode = YES. So I changed it to NO, will Apple approve my app for iOS 7.x-9.x?

No. Not yet for iOS apps.

From the Apple Developer Guide:

For iOS apps, bitcode is the default, but optional. For watchOS and tvOS apps, bitcode is required. If you provide bitcode, all apps and frameworks in the app bundle (all targets in the project) need to include bitcode

Advantage of turning BITCODE on:

Bitcode is an intermediate representation of a compiled program. Apps you upload to iTunes Connect that contain bitcode will be compiled and linked on the store. Including bitcode will allow Apple to re-optimize your app binary in the future without the need to submit a new version of your app to the store.

As per apple document bitcode is default but currently optional so your app will get approval until it is compulsory.
