In case someone is struggling with the same, here's the step to fix it. Go to Visual Studio "Tools" > "Extension and Updates" > then search for "Cordova". Make sure it is turned on:

I just lost a couple of hours to this error. For me, the solution was to follow the instructions available at this link:

In case that link ever dies, here is a copy of the instructions:

If you get a message in Visual Studio that says you can't start debugging your app, try these steps. Also, try these steps if no emulators or devices are listed in the debug target dropdown list.

Close all instances of Visual Studio.

Open this folder:

C:\Users\username%appdata%\Local\Microsoft\Phone Tools

Rename the CoreCon folder to any other name (CoreCon will get recreated when you rebuild).

Restart Visual Studio and try again.
