Solution

  • I found the problem and writing the answer here in case of somebody has the same problem

    The root of the problem was the version on Cordova, it seems that this error exists on < v4, but I was using 5.3.3 how this is possible When you clear cordova cache from visual studio menu, it replace v4.0.0 into the directories, so you need to copy the cordova again from %APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\cordova to %APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\vs-mda\node_modules\cordova
