Would that be gRPC?

My understanding is that the backend defines their API in a protobuf type language that can then be used to generate different outputs for the different platforms. (But my knowledge is pretty limited)

I hear people talking about backend team publishing some binary which encodes all of api + models, is that grpc?
does grpc generates the retrofit stuff on android them also? I presume its some other tool right
