Question

I develop android application. With the help of the retrofit2.3.0, the application loads from the server xml and tries to process it, but for some reason an error occurs

I had similar error while parsing XML:

org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException: Unexpected token (position:TEXT @1:2 in java.io.StringReader@b7f960d)

As I found out, it was problem with encoding. File was encoded with UTF-8-BOM. After converting the file first to UTF-8 and then parsing, problem was gone.
