You cannot upload XML XForms files into Kobo. KoboToolbox is basically an XLSForm-based toolkit; you can _export_ an XML from Kobo, but that is only by virtue of the fact Kobo includes the [pyxform](https://github.com/XLSForm/pyxform) translator for this purpose.

In terms of _importing_ an existing form into Kobo, unfortunately it must be in XSLForm format [and no, AFAIK there is no generally available tool to convert an arbitrary XML XForm into its equivalent XLSForm; you'd have to translate it yourself].
