iOS 9 status bar appears below black bar

What is happening to my app in Xcode 7 / iOS 9?

enter image description here

The whole screen looks condensed, as if an iPhone 4S app is displaying on an iPhone 6. It looks normal in the iPhone 4S simulator.

I thought it was a problem with the auto layout constraints in the main storyboard, so I eventually deleted everything apart from the root view in the root view controller (blue screen), and there's still a problem with it.

I tried enabling size classes, thinking that this was the problem due to previously being disabled, but the result was the same.

Is anyone else getting this problem in their existing apps running in iOS 9?

Thanks for the answers. They pointed me in the right direction, as I wasn't aware it was anything to do with the launch screen.

I found out I had no LaunchScreen.storyboard file. Digging around in the docs led me onto this:

New projects are created with a launch screen storyboard file called LaunchScreen.storyboard. Alternately, you can create a new launch screen file using File > New, selecting the User Interface category, and choosing a file type of Launch Screen.

enter image description here

It was weird that I had to do this, as I only started developing this app in iOS 8, and apparently this was a change in iOS 8. But with iOS 9 Apple are obviously getting more aggressive with deprecating incorrectly set up projects, and the consequences were that it was bug to my app.

The positive I guess, is that all of this forced me to at least create a launch image instead of having nothing.

Target>General>Launch Image Source>use asset it will create new asset named BrandAsset, place your launch images over here. Create LaunchScreen.storyboard if already not existing and select it to Target>General>Launch Screen File.
