I created a new project with xcode 6.0.1 using swift and set deployment target to iOS 7.0.
The screen size is wrong for iPhone 5s in iOS7 – it shouldn't have any black spaces.

Set the architecture in build setting to Standard architectures(armv7,armv7s)
iPhone 5S is powered by A7 64bit processor. From apple docs
Xcode can build your app with both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries included. This combined binary requires a minimum deployment target of iOS 7 or later.
Note: A future version of Xcode will let you create a single app that supports the 32-bit runtime on iOS 6 and later, and that supports the 64-bit runtime on iOS 7.
From the documentation what i understood is
- Xcode can create both 64bit 32bit binaries for a single app but the deployment target should be iOS7. They are saying in future it will be iOS 6.0
- 32 bit binary will work fine in iPhone 5S(64 bit processor).
Update (Xcode 5.0.1)
In Xcode 5.0.1 they added the support to create 64 bit binary for iOS 5.1.1 onwards.
Xcode 5.0.1 can build your app with both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries included. This combined binary requires a minimum deployment target of iOS 5.1.1 or later. The 64-bit binary runs only on 64-bit devices running iOS 7.0.3 and later.
Update (Xcode 5.1)
Xcode 5.1 made significant change in the architecture section. This answer will be a followup for you.
Check this
You can directly type a different target (5.0, 5.1, etc) into the text box :)
The only thing to note is you will need to change the architecture to exclude ARM64 if you go below 7.0.

Best Answer
In new Xcode 6 projects, you don't have these Default-568h@2x.png images.
Do the next steps to fix it:
1) Open your Images.xcassets and look for LaunchImage. It is probably missing.
2) In this case, click on + (located at the bottom) and click on New Launch Image.
3) Select your project target and open Build Settings tab. Look for "Asset Catalog Compiler - Options" section and then "Asset Catalog Launch Image Set Name", if it is empty type LaunchImage.
Voila!
