Bitcoin Core (since 0.13) uses HD after BIP32 with only hardened private key derivation. Exporting the xpub would be useless, because other apps could not derive public keys (hardened derivation requires the xpriv).

Though, you can export the xpriv with dumpwallet <filename> (RPC or Debug Console). But be careful with that.
