Ar is missing after upgrade to Xcode 7

Question

I'm using Yosemite. Just upgraded Xcode 7 and command line

I'm getting this error when cross-compile C project for iOS.

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ar: No such file or directory

Have you searched the directory? does the file actually exist? if file exists, then update the list of directory paths to include the .../usr/bin directory otherwise, search for the 'ar' executable and then update the directory paths accordingly — user3629249, Sep 17 '15 at 19:07

Xcode 7.0 appears to have changed the default location for these tools:

nm
size
libtool
pagestuff
ar
codesign_allocate
dsymutil
install_name_tool
ld
ctf_insert
as
otool
strings
strip
redo_prebinding
lipo
nmedit

Toolchain Location:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/

It may not include all command line tools by default, so you can also try downloading them:

The only tools now in the former location are:

texturetool
csent
unwinddump
dyldinfo
dsymutil-classic
rebase
pngcrush
dwarfdump
PackageApplication
iphoneos-optimize
