unknown type name in objective c

I'm pretty new to objective c, and having some basic problems.

I wrote a simple program using a navigator, and everything worked fine. then I added few lines of code (can't even remember what exactly, and it seems to have no connection to the problem) and the problem occurred. I tried ctrl+z, and the problem remained:

I run the program and get these errors:

1. unknown type name "mainController"
2. property with 'retain (or strong)' attribute must be of object type

while mainController is the first screen to be loaded.

This is the appDelegate.h file:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "mainController.h"
#import "WishesList.h"
#import "Wish.h"

@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate>

@property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navController;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet mainController *viewController; // this line creates the errors
@property (strong, nonatomic) WishesList *WishesArray;
@property (strong, nonatomic) NSIndexPath *temp;

@end

this is the relevant part of the appDelegate.m file:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:    (NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc]initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds]];
    WishesArray = [[WishesList alloc]init];
    temp = nil;
    [self setViewController:[[mainController alloc]init]];
    [self setNavController:[[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:self.viewController]];
    [self.window setRootViewController:navController];
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

And this is mainController.h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "addWishController.h"
#import "displayWish.h"
#import "WishesList.h"
#import "Wish.h"

@interface mainController : UIViewController

Check the target and the files it is compiling. Perhaps mainController has some how been removed from that target. If so, when building, you would get the message that it cannot be found.
