After Switching to Xcode 7, App Size Grew from 9 Mb to 60 Mb, Is There a Fix

Default Xcode Game Template has wrong view size

This behaviour is due to missing Launch Screen or Launch Images which leads to a screen with 320x480 size. The solution is to include a launch images or launch screen in project and setting them in the project->target->general tab.
