Is it possible to create Xcode widget in Xcode 12 but without the use of SwiftUI and instead use XIB files to construct the Widget UI?

Widget protocol is only available in SwiftUI framework, so you can only create widgets using SwiftUI.

Update
You can't use UIKit views wrapped in UIViewRepresentable within SwiftUI for Widgets, It will appear blank.
No, due to performance and battery life concerns, WidgetKit only works with SwiftUI.

You configure the widget with a timeline provider, and use SwiftUI views to display the widget’s content. The timeline provider tells WidgetKit when to update your widget’s content.
