Can not read property controller of undefined

In index.html, I have added path to controller file.

I am getting this error with controller. Even if I comment out the code in controller.js, I still get this error.

controller.js

angular.module('starter.controllers', [])
.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope,$state,$stateParams,$rootScope){

});

app.js

// Ionic Starter App

// angular.module is a global place for creating, registering and retrieving Angular modules
// 'starter' is the name of this angular module example (also set in a <body> attribute in index.html)
// the 2nd parameter is an array of 'requires'
angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers'])

.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    // Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory bar above the keyboard
    // for form inputs)
    if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
      cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
    }
    if(window.StatusBar) {
      StatusBar.styleDefault();
    }
  });
})
.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
  $stateProvider
      .state('navBar', {
        url: "/navBar",
        abstract: true,
        templateUrl: "templates/navigationBar.html",
        controller:'AppCtrl'

      })
        .state('navBar.orderReceive', {
        url: "/orderReceive",
        views: {
          'orderReceiveView': {
            templateUrl: "templates/OrderReceiveChoice.html"


          }
        }
      })

        $urlRouterProvider.otherwise(function ($injector) {
           var $state = $injector.get('$state');
            $state.go('navBar.orderReceive');
        });

})

But I get an error
