How to fix the black bars appearing on a iPhone 5/5s with iOS7?

I started a new Xcode6 project settings iOS8 as the deployment target. I designed the screens in a storyboard, disabling autolayout and using the auto-resizing masks. Everything works perfectly on iPhone 5/5s/6/6+ using iOS8.

Now I wanted to enable support for iOS7, setting the deployment target to that version...however if I run the app in the iPhone 5/5s sim with iOS7, the layout is totally broken: there are black strips at the top and the bottom of every screen, and many other views are bad positioned.

Since it works fine on iOS8...what can it be?

As written in my comment above, I was missing two things:

1) the launch image for iPhone 5/5s on iOS7. It was working on iOS8 because iOS8 supports a dynamic xib file for the launch screen. The project had the xib but not the static image to support iOS7

2) it appears the cell's contentView (for collection views, and I suppose tableviews) is "borken" in xcode6/iOS6. This post explains how to fix it.
