Check the Important things to remember here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd569005(v=ws.10).aspx

In order for the sync operation to function correctly, the Msdeploy.exe.configsettings file must be the same on the source and destination computers. If you add any rules or custom providers to the Msdeploy.exe.configsettings file, make sure that this configuration file is identical on the source and the destination computers before you perform a synchronization.

I think it's because there is an ' in your path name (or your username actually):

["C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe" -source:contentPath='C:\Users\Iulica'sPc\AppData\Local\Temp\PublishTemp\GpsTracking103\' -dest:contentPath='C:\Users\Iulica'sPc\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\GpsTracking\artifacts\bin\GpsTracking\Release\PublishOutput' -verb:sync -enableRule:DoNotDeleteRule -retryAttempts:2 -disablerule:BackupRule]

Try deploying to a different folder like c:\projects\ ad also the source path could be the issue.
