Why can my code not find the AngularJS $interval?

My AngularJS Code is trying to call $interval and there's a problem in VS2013 saying not found. Here's the code:

var appRun = [
    '$rootScope',
    function (
        $rootScope
        ) {

        // This does not work
        $interval(userService.isAuthenticated(), 5000);
        // This works
        $rootScope.$interval(userService.isAuthenticated(), 5000);

    }]

app.run(appRun);

Can someone tell me why the call to $interval. ... does not work. Why do I need to put $rootScope before it ?

$interval is an Angular service that you need to inject just as you inject $rootScope:

var appRun = [
    '$rootScope', '$interval',
    function ($rootScope, $interval) {
        $interval(userService.isAuthenticated(), 5000);
    }]

app.run(appRun);

Regarding why $rootScope.$interval seems to work - you may have attached the $interval service to the $rootScope on some other part of your application. It's not built-in on the $rootScope.

In any case, it should be used via injection.
