It looks like like perhaps you are developing your extension within a normal CiviCRM installation instead of a development installation. If this is the case, you'll need to set up a development installation in order to get the xml folder (and other things too).

The best way to set up a development installation is to use the civibuild tool which you will get if you install buildkit.

    @ManiMuthuPandi read about the civibuild command. You will need to do something like: civibuild create dmaster --url http://dmaster --type drupal-demo

  • @ManiMuthuPandi for help with further questions and troubleshooting it would be best to either (1) got to the developer chat room or (2) post a separate question here on StackExchange. I'd recommend that chat room for your right now, as it will allow for easier back-and-forth conversation.
