On the web. I, among other things, make Android apps, and Android and XML are one and the same. There is no such thing as Android development without touching XML files.


I did Android Developer Challenge back in 2008 and honestly don't remember doing that much of XML. Although it is the technology from peak XML days so perhaps you're right.


Flutter? React Native? Maui?


None of that is what I would call "Android development".

But even if you use one of those terrible technologies, your app still needs a manifest and some native resources.
