I found the solution here:

1. In your Azure project, edit any diagnostics.wadcfgx files in a text editor, and set <IsEnabled>false</IsEnabled> (near the bottom)

2. Right click project > Publish, untick Send diagnostics data to Application Insights, hit Next

I had upgraded from Azure SDK 2.3 to 2.9.

Answer 2

I had this exact issue after upgrading Azure Tools from 2.6 to 2.9 - I solved it by going into Programs and Features and uninstalling all items that started with "Microsoft Azure" and had a 2.6 version number in the name, leaving only the 2.9 behind (all with Visual Studio 2013 closed). Then I restarted Visual Studio 2013 and it magically started working properly!

I.ve installed the Azure SDK 2.7 (the features for VS2013), restarted the VS2013 and it worked again, you can download the SDK items manually at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48178
