Based on the logs I imagine you are attempting to launch the app on a simulator. The reason your launch failed was because you requested a simulator with 7.1, since you don't seem to have these you will need to go into Xcode preferences->downloads and download the older iOS sims. Also as a tip, for simulators you do not need to add the UDID as part of the name. Try to only use the UDID for physical devices.

Try using either the device device description - 

(iPhone 5s (8.1 Simulator))

or the udid -

(E5723F7E-05AC-4858-9C9F-495C1FA3A00B)

NOT BOTH.

Also, one more thing : as per logs, its says that -

You requested 'iPhone 5s (E5723F7E-05AC-4858-9C9F-495C1FA3A00B) (7.1 Simulator)'

but the available devices as per logs matching the device id :

[E5723F7E-05AC-4858-9C9F-495C1FA3A00B]

is on v8.1 not v7.1 -

"iPhone 5s (8.1 Simulator) [E5723F7E-05AC-4858-9C9F-495C1FA3A00B]"

so should crosscheck platformVersion carefully as well before running.

Try to disconnect and connect the device again. This happened to me a lot of times but works by just disconnecting and connecting it again.
