The solution mentioned here to use Tools->Options->Generic Highlighter path and copying a file didn't work for me, because that path is just empty.
What actually worked was this:
1. Going to Tools->Options->Environment->MIME Types
2. Filter for xml
3. Click on the entry "application/xml
4. in The field "Patterns" append ";*.launch" to the already existing patterns

I also couldn't find the xml.xml and this answer worked for me.

The solution that worked for me was:

Find out, where your Syntax Highlight Definition Files are located by navigating to: Tools->Options->Text Editor->Generic Highlighter and note the given paths.
Find the syntax file for xml: xml.xml in one of the paths noted above.
You can either edit this file directly or make a copy and name it launch.xml (You might need sudo to do this). Then edit the line that starts with <language name="XML" by adding *.launch to the extensions="... argument. Mine looks like this now:

<language name="XML" version="2.03" kateversion="2.4" section="Markup" extensions="*.launch;*.docbook;*.xml;*.rc;*.daml;*.rdf;*.rss;*.xspf;*.xsd;*.svg;*.ui;*.kcfg;*.qrc;*.wsdl" mimetype="text/xml;text/book;text/daml;text/rdf;application/rss+xml;application/xspf+xml;image/svg+xml;application/x-designer;application/xml" casesensitive="1" author="Wilbert Berendsen (wilbert@kde.nl)" license="LGPL">

Hi @Nicky0201, you probably don't have the necessary rights. As I mentioned in my answer, you can try editing the file, using the sudo command in the terminal.

The way to get syntax highlighting is actually pretty simple. Open QtCreator and go to Tools->Options->Generic Highlighter. Then navigate to whatever directory is listed. Lastly,

cp xml.xml launch.xml

You may need to sudo that command, depending on where it is installed. After that, you should be good.
